Instructions

In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a chopping blade, combine all the ingredients.

Pulse 4 or 5 times, then pause to scrape down the sides.

Continue to pulse until a medium consistency with no large pieces is achieved.

Be careful not overprocess or it will be too watery.

Spoon the salsa into a container with a tight-fitting lid.

Chill in the refrigerator overnight or at least six hours.

Serve at room temperature.

Notes

This salsa can be made up to 1 month ahead and frozen. Omit the fresh cilantro, if freezing, and store it in an airtight container. Thaw in the refrigerator and stir in minced cilantro before serving.
