The Steps to make the Best Easy Salsa:
Start by gathering your ingredients. (Photo 1) You'll need:
- 1 14 oz. can of Diced Tomatoes
- 1 10 oz. can of Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies
- 1 Small onion - or about ½ cup roughly chopped onion
- ¼ Cup Cilantro (loosely packed)
- 1 Garlic Clove (yes just one is fine!)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
- For extra kick you could add a few slices of canned or fresh jalapeño pepper

Instructions
Place everything in the blender as you measure it out and open the cans. (Photo 2)
Now put the lid on the blender (yes, we've all left it off a time or two!) and PULSE your blender. That's like mini-stop/starts if your blender doesn't have the pulse option. This will help things mix up in the blender and also keep your salsa just a bit chunky. When you are happy with the texture of the salsa (Photo 3), pour it into a serving bowl or jar and enjoy (Photo 4)!
And there you have it!! My favorite Best Easy Salsa Recipe! Everyone I've EVER fed this salsa to just loves it, and I hope you will too!!
This salsa is FANTASTIC with tortilla chips (obviously), on top of vegan black bean tofu tacos, as part of this vegan Mexican pasta salad dressing, or even on top of these savory oatmeal bowls!

Hi Rebecca! I want to share with you that I made this salsa for a small group of people. EVERYONE really liked it! I used the Ortel Tomatoes & Chilis that are mild, half of the can because we are not 'spicy' people and sometimes Ortel mild can be a little too spicy even for mild. :-)) This is such a simple recipe and like that it is made using lemon juice. Thank you for all you do to try to help people with good recipes.
Rebecca
Thanks SO much for the feedback! So glad everyone enjoyed the salsa! It's a favorite around our house too!
