How easy is this? I used 1 14oz can of diced tomatoes with jalapeno added and 1 14oz can of diced tomatoes with green chilis and onion added and then garlic powder and salt.Wonderful! Thanks for posting! I now have a salsa recipe that calls for stuff that I always have on hand and tastes way better!!!

Very good! Whenever I make this for other people, they rave over it. I do add cilantro to this because we love the fresh flavor it gives. We like our salsa chunky, so I buy diced tomatoes and use some of the juice to chop up the cilantro in my mini food processer. I then add the rest of the tomatoes and pulse it several times. It turns out perfect! I don't buy salsa anymore and we always have a container of this stuff in the fridge now. My husband eats it for an evening snack. I can't believe how simple and easy it is!

saw this in the "new reviews" and just knew I had to try it.. very glad I did..am AMAZED that just a few simple ingredients give such a great flavor...I'm sure I'll be making this again..once you've made this it is so easy the recipe will stay with you and if you have unexpected guest pop in you can whip this up in a flash..thanks for sharing this recipe

We really liked this salsa. It was close to the one we had in San Marcos , Texas at a family reunion. It is very easy to make and I prepared it as written. Thanks Aggiezoey. Bullwinkle.

Thank you thank you thank you!! I have been looking for a "smooth" salsa recipe that is not watery. This fit the bill perfectly. Since we love garlic more than most, I actually add in roasted garlic, but followed everything else as written. I love that this can be made all year round. Delish!!!

WOW!!! I was a bit hesitant to use this recipe due to the fact that it does not use any "fresh" ingredients, although it seemed extremely easy so I went for it and boy am I glad I did! It tastes amazingly authentic like the salsa you would get at your neighborhood Mexican resturaunt. This salsa tastes fresh and AMAZING. I varied the recipe slightly and did what a previous reviewer did--I used a can of diced tomatoes with jalepenos and one with green chilis, put it in the blender, added chopped onion and garlic powder. mmmm!

This is a great base recipe for salsa. We've tweaked it a bit to our liking --following the recipe but also adding some fresh cilantro, a bit of oregano, some green onions or grated fresh onion, lime juice, a bit of sugar. We haven't purchased bottled salsa since discovering this recipe.

thats an insane amount of sodium written in the nutrition facts. using canned tomato and pickled jalapenos AND adding extra salt?! please be careful! if we go throug the trouble of making homemade salsa thye might as well be healthy!

Excellent!! Im not sure my canned tomatoes were the best choice for this, but it will be easily taken care of by using some fresh cilantro next time to perk it up. I will not buy store bought salsa again.

Excellent. I adjusted seasonings to my taste. This is just like the salsa I eat at the local Mexican restaurants.
