Steps:
- Combine the diced tomatoes, whole tomatoes, cilantro, onions, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, salt, sugar and lime juice in a blender or food processor. (This is a very large batch. I recommend using a 12-cup food processor, or you can process the ingredients in batches and then mix everything together in a large mixing bowl.)
- Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like. I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.
- Refrigerate the salsa for at least an hour before serving.
WALLA WALLA SALSA SALSA
A local recipe. Use any regional variety of sweet onion from your area. This is a mild salsa, if you want more {{bite}}, sub one or two jalapenos or serranos, etc. for the Anaheims. A step further also would be substituting a more "gourmet" olive instead of standard canned. Lastly, I roasted the onion and tomatoes as well, although that is optional. Fresh, fresh, fresh ingredients, please!

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and jalapeños will give your salsa the best flavor.
- Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes brings out their natural sweetness and depth of flavor.
- Don't over-blend your salsa: You want your salsa to have a chunky texture. Over-blending will make it too smooth.
- Add some heat: If you like spicy salsa, add a jalapeño or two. You can also add some cayenne pepper or chili powder.
- Let your salsa rest: Let your salsa rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
