A delightful and easy-to-make salsa recipe that brings a burst of flavor to your table.
Peel and roughly chop the onion.
Chopping the onion into smaller pieces helps it blend more evenly.
In a blender, combine the canned tomatoes and half of the cilantro.
Blending the cilantro with the tomatoes infuses the salsa with a fresh herby flavor.
Add the chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and juice of the lime to the blender.
Adjust the amount of lime juice to balance the acidity to your taste.
Blend the mixture until smooth.
Blend just enough to combine the ingredients; over-blending can make the salsa too thin.
Finely chop the remaining cilantro and stir it into the blended mixture.
Adding fresh cilantro at the end gives the salsa a vibrant texture and flavor.
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning if needed. Optionally, add cayenne pepper for extra heat.
Add cayenne pepper in small increments to control the heat level.
Serve the salsa in a bowl with your favorite chips or as a topping for dishes.
For a party, garnish the salsa with a sprig of cilantro for a decorative touch.
