Gather Your Ingredients
- 3 ripe tomatoes, chopped
- 1 small red onion, quartered
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
Step-by-Step Preparation
Start by placing the chopped tomatoes, quartered onion, jalapeño, and cilantro into the Ninja Food Processor’s 9-cup bowl.
Secure the lid and pulse 3-4 times until the ingredients are chopped to your desired consistency — chunky for a textured salsa or smoother if preferred.
Pour the mixture into a bowl, then stir in lime juice, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
For a more blended texture, pulse the mixture a few more times, but avoid over-processing to keep it fresh and vibrant.
