Red Salsa

A classic tomato blend that can be thrown together in minutes for those teenage invasions and impromptu parties.

Ingredients

• ¼ medium (30 g) onion, peeled, halved
• ½ jalapeño, seeded, stemmed
• ⅛ cup (3 g) fresh cilantro leaves
• ¼ lime, peeled
• ¼ teaspoon salt, optional
• 3 (225 g) roma tomatoes, quartered

Directions

1. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the blade base.
2. For Chunky Style Salsa: Select Variable 5. Pulse 10 to 15 times, using the tamper to press ingredients toward the blades. Alternatively for a smooth salsa: Run the Dip & Spread Program or start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 45-55 seconds, using the tamper to push the ingredients into the blades.

Notes

For a thicker salsa remove the seeds from the tomato so you are just left with the flesh, or strain half the mixture in a fine mesh strainer after blending. For a spicier salsa, keep the jalapeno seeds in before blending.
