Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Remove jalapeño seeds before blending to control heat level; leave them in only if you prefer spicier salsa.
Pulse the blender rather than fully puree to maintain some texture and prevent the salsa from becoming too smooth or watery.
Taste and adjust lime juice and salt at the end—these are the primary flavor drivers and vary by canned tomato brand.
Chill the finished salsa for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Substitutions

White onion → red onion (slightly sweeter, more color)
Lime juice → lemon juice (more subtle acidity)
Ground cumin → smoked cumin (deeper, smokier flavor)
Canned tomatoes → 4 fresh tomatoes (lighter texture, requires draining)

Storage & make-ahead

Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

Common Questions

Can I use fresh tomatoes instead of canned?

Yes. The recipe lists 4 fresh tomatoes as an optional alternative to the two cans. Fresh tomatoes will yield a slightly thinner, more watery salsa unless you drain excess liquid first.
