How to Make Salsa from Scratch at Home
This recipe can be made with any variety of tomatoes. All that will be different is how consistently it is done.
Higher water content is found in larger tomatoes, such as those used for slicing. As a result, your homemade salsa will be thinner than if you used paste tomatoes instead.
Also, feel free to include cherry tomatoes if you have a surplus.
No matter what variety of tomato you use, press off as much juice and seeds as possible before adding it to your homemade salsa.
In a food processor, cut up your tomatoes into small pieces.
To ensure that the tomatoes are diced but still thick and chunky, pulse them a few times.
A couple more pulses are needed to incorporate the remaining ingredients.
