Steps:
- Put everything into the blender or food processor, chunkier items first. Don't worry about chopping everything too much as the blender takes care of that.
- For smoother salsa use crushed tomatoes and let the blender run as long as needed.
- For chunkier salsa use whole tomatoes and give all the ingredients a nice rough chop so you do not have to leave the blender running very long. Carefully pulse for a couple of seconds.
- Flavor improves over time but this should be used within a few days.

Steps:
- Strain tomatoes and reserve juice. Roughly chop onion, fresh garlic, and jalapeño; add to food processor fitted with a metal blade.

Add remaining tomatoes and cilantro and pulse until desired consistency is reached.

Tips
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will ensure that your salsa has the best possible flavor.
- Use a variety of tomatoes. This will give your salsa a more complex flavor. Try using a mix of Roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and heirloom tomatoes.
- Roast your tomatoes before making the salsa. This will intensify their flavor and give the salsa a smoky flavor.
- Use fresh herbs and spices. This will give your salsa a bright, lively flavor. Try using cilantro, basil, oregano, cumin, and chili powder.
- Don't over-process the salsa. You want the salsa to have some texture. If you over-process it, it will become too smooth and lose its flavor.
- Chill the salsa before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and will make the salsa more refreshing.
