Author: Diabetic Foodie
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 8

Ingredients 

  • 8 cocktail tomatoes, (about 8 ounces, quartered)
  • 2 green onions, (white and light green parts only, chopped)
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, (seeded and chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Instructions

  • Add the tomatoes, onions, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice to your food processor.
  • Pulse until the salsa reaches your desired consistency.
  • Garnish with cilantro if desired and serve!

Notes

This recipe is for 8 servings of salsa. Each serving will be about 2 tablespoons.
1 tablespoon of yellow or red onion can be used in place of the green onions.
For a milder salsa, replace the jalapeño with about 1 tablespoon banana pepper or green bell pepper. For a hotter salsa, use a spicier pepper like a serrano.
For a really chunky salsa, dice everything by hand and skip the food processor.
Salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consume within 3 days for the best flavor.
