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

Ingredients

  • 3 (300 g) large Roma Tomatoes, halved
  • ¼ (45 g) medium red onion, halved
  • ½ small jalapeño, seeded
  • ½ cup (10 g) fresh cilantro leaves
  • ½ lime peeled
  • 1 teaspoon salt, optional

Directions

  1. With a peeler or paring knife, remove the peel and white pith from the lime, leaving just the flesh.
  2. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
  3. Pulse the blender by rapidly turning the dial to its lowest speed setting, then off again. Repeat until desired texture is achieved, using the tamper to press ingredients toward the blades as necessary. Scrape the sides of the container as needed.

Chef's Notes

For a thicker salsa, remove the seeds from the tomato so you are just left with the flesh. For a spicier salsa add the seeds of the jalapeno.
