I registered with Tasty Kitchen just to leave a comment on this salsa. It is fabulous, super-easy to make, even easier to customize to your preferences. The tomato paste (I use about half of a small can) gives it a richness a lot of homemade salsas lack.

During the summer, I make it with fresh tomatoes (3-4 good-sized, peeled and thrown in the food processor with everything else), and I use only half of a jalapeno.

It freezes well, so I make a lot in the summer and freeze in Gladware containers.

Don’t worry about being precise with your ingredients–just throw it in and adjust to taste. This is a very forgiving recipe, but don’t leave out the salt!

Just made this and it is wonderful!

A couple of questions…
1. How many ounces of tomatoes and tomato paste do you put in?
2. As for cilantro do you just grab a handful?

It is a little spicy (which I LOVE) but my husband likes it more mild so I might cut a few ingredients back to make it for him.

Thanks for sharing this great recipe!!!

Now this is my kinda salsa! I prefer mine smooth and the flavor was just right in this. Easy to whip up and best of all it was a huge hit with everyone. I’ll be making this often. Thanks for the great recipe.

Just made this salsa tonight and I loved it. I used one 10 oz. can of Rotel tomatoes and one 15 oz. can of whole tomatoes and I love the punch of spiciness from the Rotel. Great flavor, this recipe is a winner. The only change I will make next time is to cut down on the salt a bit.
