If you prefer it spicy, feel free to add a few extra pinches of cayenne pepper to taste.

Cayenne Pepper - Just a pinch of cayenne pepper is going to boost the other flavors in this salsa without making it spicy.

The flavor of this blender salsa will still be delicious!

Cumin- I like the earthy, warm flavor that cumin adds, but if you don’t have any on hand it’s not a big deal.

Lime Juice - If you don't have fresh limes on hand, this is our family’s favorite bottled lime juice.

Cilantro - Fresh cilantro is a really important ingredient in this salsa.

I prefer mild salsa, so I remove the ribs and seeds completely from the jalapeno.

Jalapeno - If you like spicy salsa, try leaving some (or all) of the ribs and seeds in the jalapeno.

If you’re in a pinch you could use the jarred minced garlic or garlic powder, but it will alter the flavor of the salsa.

Fresh Garlic - This restaurant-style salsa really does taste best with fresh cloves of garlic.

Red Onion - You could also use white onion or yellow onion in place of the red onion in this recipe.

Fire-roasted Diced Tomatoes - If you can’t find fire-roasted tomatoes you can just use regular diced tomatoes, but fire-roasted are going to add another layer of delicious flavor.

A ½ teaspoon of chiles in adobo added to this salsa will give you a great smoky heat too! This recipe is really easy to use as a blueprint and make it your own! Do you like a strong acid flavor in your salsa? Add an extra squeeze of fresh lime juice.
