Cilantro Lime Salsa

I have been experimenting with salsa again. This salsa is so fresh you can still see the bubbles formed in the blender. I have made this recipe three times now. This batch went to a Halloween party with dear sister. This recipe is a combination of all the things I love from my other salsa recipes. I used the cumin and cilantro from the Hot and Smoky Salsa recipe. I used more garlic like the Garlic Lover's Hot Sauce recipe. Finally, I used lime juice, red wine vinegar and jalapeno from the Hot Sauce recipe. I left it a little on the chunky side too. I really like the texture and you can see so many of the ingredients that way. I think it is the perfect blend of all recipes. I don't think I can live with out the other recipes but I see myself making this salsa very often.

Make 1 quart

Ingredients

1 small onion, roughly chopped

2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed

1 jalapeno pepper, roughly chopped*

1/2 tsp. cumin

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

1-1/2 Tbsp. lime juice

splash red wine vinegar

dash or two choula hot sauce

28 oz can whole tomatoes, undrained

1/2 bunch cilantro

Directions

Place onion through hot sauce in blender. Add enough of the liquid from the tomatoes to cover half of the ingredients. Process until finely chopped. Add the rest of the liquid, tomatoes and the cilantro. Pulse or blend until desired consistency. Refrigerate overnight.  Serve with corn chips.  Will keep in refrigerator about one week.

Note: *Seed the jalapeno for mild salsa, remove seeds from half for medium salsa, use whole jalapeno seeds and all for hot salsa.
