This is a quick and easy recipe for delicious salsa-the key is to blend the ingredients for a few seconds. Tastes even better the second day.

Wonderful tasting salsa. I did do a few changes in the recipe. I used Mexican stewed tomatoes, fresh jalapeno's, lemon juice in place of lime, lots of cilantro and added about a teaspoon of chili powder to mine. All our favorite Mexican restaurants tell us to use the chili powder. Thanks for the recipe.

This is an absolutely fantastic recipe. I make it for all the parties that we go to - and continue to get lots of requests for it! It is very important to remember to drain the tomatoes - otherwise it is too runny. This has joined my recipe book as one of my 'regulars'.

[I rated this recipe once before. I do NOT blend the tomatoes, because I like chunky sauce. Everyone is SO impressed with the recipe!] Original review: "A KEEPER! - and also to share! Anyone who objects to canned, and/or Ro-Tel tomatoes should remember that purchased salsa has been cooked and processed. This recipe has the additional fresh ingredients which takes it FAR above the average purchased salsa (and much cheaper than store prices). Thanks so VERY much for sharing!" [If you want "chunky salsa" do NOT use the blender].

I loved this but I don't like uncooked canned tomatoes so I used fresh Roma, my garden is full in summer so I make this as often as I can. Always a hit at get together's. Try the fresh tomatoes you won't be sorry.

Thie recipe was amazing. The only things I would suggest are 1. buying Hunt's tomatoes - don't substitute with a generic brand. 2. draining the tomatoes, unless you like a really runny salsa. 3. only blending on pulse a few times - I'm talking seconds. The first batch I made was very runny, but the second one was AMAZING, and I got so many compliments on it!! :) Thanks!

Good as it is, but if you're looking for more of a homemade, less sweet taste try using fresh cut Mexican style canned tomatoes in lieu of the stewed tomatoes. I also added a jalapeno to give it more flavor, and added green onions for less of a "canned" taste. Wonderful! Tastes just like the salsa at our favorite Mexican restaurant.

Words cannot describe how I feel about this recipe. It's soooo good. I was skeptical that it could really taste fresh with canned tomatoes, but it truly does. I didn't change a thing and it was mild and flavorful. When you originally chop your onions, leave them a little on the big side, that way when you blend them, they won't be puried and be overpowering. Also, don't over blend the salsa. After reading reviews, it seems some have complained about the consistency, that it's too runny. I didn't drain my tomatoes, but only pulsed my blender a few times. The consistency was perfect. I've eaten chips and salsa for lunch 2 days in a row now. I'm addicted and will make this regularly. Thanks so much!

Excellant recipe! In addition to the base, I used an additional 1/4 of an onion, 12oz of jalapeno's, a teaspoon of red pepper, a teaspoon of cayenne and a dash of chives.
