Home Made Salsa

Salsa is totally overpriced! Most cheap salsa doesn't taste all that great anyway. Yet, salsa is so simple to make. All you need is a blender...

Blend together:
1 lg. yellow onion (peeled and quartered)
1 lg. can (28oz) of Tomatoes (they can be whole or diced, it doesn't matter)
4 garlic cloves (peeled)
1 or 2 pickled jalapenos (or just to your preferred taste)
1 or 2 TBS lime or lemon juice (again to taste)

After this has been blended well add some cilantro. I use a whole bunch of fresh leaves. Give the blender one final whirl to mix in the cilantro and chop it up a little but you don't want to blend it too much or the salsa will turn a gross green-brown color.
If you like chunky salsa, mix in a small can of diced tomatoes (14.5oz) and a small can of tomato paste (6oz).
If it is not as hot as you like add some of the juice from the pickled jalapenos at the end.
Refrigerate and enjoy!
