Tips for this Easy Homemade Salsa Recipe

I remember my first time making homemade salsa, I put all the ingredients in the blender and I didn’t use the pulse button, I just turned it on, and before I knew it I basically had pink liquid! The consistency was too runny and I had blended out all the texture of those gorgeous tomatoes.

Be very careful to only pulse a few times. If you are worried about it getting too liquid, just use a knife to finely dice. Leave the green onions out until the end, they get too stringy in the blender. Just finely dice them and then stir them in at the end. If you like a chunkier salsa, you can leave a portion of the diced tomatoes out of the blender or food processor and stir them in at the end with the green onion. One final tip is that fresh ingredients make the best salsa, so, the fresher the better!
