Making fresh salsa at home, if you can get the right flavors, this salsa can be life-changing. This recipe is definitely the best combination of flavors in a salsa.


Ingredients in Restaurant-Style Salsa
Tomatoes:  I use Whole Plum tomatoes, but I've used a large can of plain diced tomatoes. For the diced tomatoes with green chiles, I use the brand Rotel, but any store brand works just as well.

Onion: White or yellow? White onions are sharper and more pungent than yellow onions. I prefer white onion for this salsa for the sharpness. 

Cilantro: I used 1/4 cup of cilantro, but if you love cilantro...use 1/2 cup. 

Garlic, spices, and lime

Chunky or Smooth Restaurant-Style Salsa? 
If you prefer chunky salsa,  I pulse whole tomatoes & one can of diced tomatoes with green chiles, cilantro, onions, garlic, lime juice, and spices in a food processor or blender. Pulse a few times until right consistency, then place the salsa in a large bowl. Add the other can of diced tomatoes to the large bowl, stir, taste, and adjust the flavors.
