Blender Salsa With Canned Tomatoes

Blender salsa is like a quick, homemade burst of flavor! Making it is super easy. You start by gathering classic ingredients like tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeños, and some lime juice. Chop them into smaller pieces and toss them into your blender. Give it a whirl until everything is nicely blended but still a bit chunky—that’s the secret to a perfect salsa texture. Add a dash of cumin for extra flavor. Voila! You’ve got yourself a delicious salsa ready to pair with chips, tacos, or whatever else needs a flavorful kick.
