Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Ingredients
- Wash all fresh vegetables thoroughly. Chop tomatoes and onion into large pieces so they blend evenly.
Step 2: Blend
- Add canned tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and sugar to your blender or food processor.
- Pulse a few times until you reach your desired consistency. Do not over-blend. Salsa should still have texture.

Step 4: Chill
- Transfer salsa to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps flavors blend together.
