The directions for this recipe are for a smooth blender salsa, but if you prefer chunky then reserve some or all of the diced tomatoes, but use the juice when blending the other ingredients. Or perhaps you'll choose not to use a blender for any of the ingredients at all ;-)
Place diced tomatoes, chiles, jalapeno, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and garlic in a blender or food processor, blend until smooth, season with salt and chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow flavors to blend before serving.

This salsa recipe is so refreshing and is a great way to use tomatoes from your garden. :)
To roast tomatoes, place tomatoes on broiler pan, and broil 4 inches from heat for 5 minutes. Turn, and roast 5 minutes more. Cool 10 minutes. Peel away charred skin; halve and core tomatoes.
This is a simple recipe and it will be ready to eat immediately or later and is so fresh tasting, you will be tempted to just take it and eat it right out of the jar
Make this delicious fresh salsa from bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, avocados, and spices. Use as you would any salsa on tacos, burritos, chips, etc.
You can make some delicious salsa even when you don't have fresh tomatoes available. This is a page about making salsa using canned tomatoes.
Although many salsa recipes include cilantro, you can make delicious salsa without this pungent herb. This page contains salsa recipes without cilantro.
This salsa has a very fresh flavor. You can use canned, from the store tomatoes or fresh, which in my opinion, is always best!
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl; mix well. Leave at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes for flavors to mingle.
Combine all ingredients in food processor and process until nearly pureed, yet still chunky. Pour into covered container and store in fridge.
I like to eat it fresh, but it needs a day or two days for the flavors to blend. This can also be hot packed for canning.
Using a blender or food processor, put 1 each of all vegetables and pulse, until it is still chunky. Drain, reserving the liquid. Repeat until it is all done.
Combine all ingredients in blender. Let stand several hours to allow flavors to mingle. Keep refrigerated. Serve with Mexican food. Is especially good as an appetizer with cocktail size frozen beef tacos.
To make this recipe even easier you can use canned diced jalapenos to taste. However freshly roasting them brings out a smoky, almost sweet flavor.
