Blender Salsa

This was quick and easy to make and easily customized to your tastes. I was hoping to have a salsa similar to Javier's, local Mexican joint, but while this comes very close its not quite it. I found the recipe on Laura's blog. It was a little spicier than I prefer but I think that was because I added fresh jalapeno since I did not have canned tomatoes with jalapenos. You know it must be goo when all three kids keep going back for more.

1 clove garlic, chopped

1/4 white onion, chopped

1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes with jalapenos, undrained

1/2 cup cilantro leaves, with some tender stems

juice of 1 lime (or lemon will work too)

salt, to taste

Combine ingredients in the blender in the order listed. Puree until smooth, or leave a little chunky, if desired.
