Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 sweet onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 small jalapeños, seeded
- handful of cilantro
- 1 lime, juiced
- 6 ripe roma tomatoes, quartered
- salt to taste
- squirt of Sriracha
Instructions
- In a food processor or Vitamix, add onion, garlic, jalapeños, cilantro, and lime. Pulse to chop.
- Add in tomatoes and pulse to desired consistency. Add salt and Sriracha to taste.
- Serve or store in refrigerator.
Notes
• Check the heat of your jalapeños before adding both in.
• A squirt of Sriracha gives the salsa a pretty red color. Otherwise, the salsa will be a pale red.
• Add a touch of sugar or agave nectar if your tomatoes are too acidic.
Can this be frozen?
Beautiful website with great looking photography. Can’t wait to try out this terrific looking salsa recipe. Thanks for this blog.
Update: Everyone at the potluck LOVED the salsa. SUCCESS.
Talk about perfect timing. We got invited to a potluck at our neighbors (making new friends in a new home) and I offered to bring chips and dip. And I’ve been a little anxious about what kind of dip to buy/make. PROBLEM SOLVED. And the only thing I don’t already have in stock is cilantro and a few more tomatoes.
what a little genius you are! Sriracha!
And, I’m on pins and needles about this redesign. For realz. Can’t wait to see!
This looks excellent!
I love salsa with nachos – so addictive! Hope to try your salsa soon, thanks for sharing!

OMG! This salsa recipe looks mouth watering! This blogger is awesome. Check it out. I am going to try this salsa for SEC tailgating. WDE!
We use Sriracha sauce a lot in our cooking, too. Great in Gazpacho! This salsa looks great-we’re never going back to Jack now.
Funny, this two person household loves Costco for rolled oats too. This salsa looks so good. I am going to give it a try. What is Sriracha? I have never had Jacks salsa. I will look for it but yours looks so yummy and fresh. Want!
I love that you put Sriracha in there, we love that stuff, but never thought to put it in our salsa! When my roma tomatoes start ripening, I’m going to make this 🙂
That’s it?! That is the recipe? As easy as that?? Well! That is good to know.
Love how quick & speedy this is and the kick of flavour from the sriracha.
When tomato season is officially over, you might want to try using those ginormous cans of Costco diced tomatoes, drained. It’s actually surprisingly good (much better than mealy winter tomatoes) and it totally tastes fresh as long as you use plenty of cilantro, onion and lime juice.
But thanks for the tip about the Sriracha- never thought to use it in salsa!
Ohhh, yummy!!! It’s a triple win-win too because you aren’t spending money on a membership to Costco now either! Definitely gonna try this one…thanks 🙂
ooooh how i could eat this right now with some nachos… you got me in the mood. xo
I had never heard of Sriracha, so I had to Google it. It appears that you add chillies and garlic to the chillies and garlic. Pretty hot stuff. Your salsa looks great and you’re better off without Jack:)
I am going to have to try this at some point, but I still think I’m going to stay pretty lazy and keep on buying mine from Trader Joe’s!
I love homemade salsa! I use my dad’s recipe where he leaves the tomatoes in little chunks rather than pureeing it. Little more pico de galo type. The sriracha (hot sauce) is really good in it as well.
I’ve never thought to add sriracha to my salsa! Oh holy hell, yeah.
This sounds wonderful! I love how easy it is!
Do you have Aldi or Trader Joe’s there? They both have very similar fresh salsa to Jack’s.
I KNOW that salsa. I’ve actually bought it from our costco too! So good. But screw jack, yours looks way better 🙂 Stoked to see a sweet redesign around these parts too!
This looks great! I love how easy it is to make! Are you into canning at all? You can totally stockpile this stuff for winter!
What the heck is Sriracha? I live in Italy and 1. I’ve never seen it 2. I’m very curioius what it is and 3. can I make it or substitute something else for it? Thanks a lot. p.s. your site is so charming and well-designed. I’ll miss it. But maybe it’s just gonna get better…
Sriracha is a hot sauce that you should be able to find at pretty much any Asian market (I live in Germany and am pretty familiar with tracking down ingredients from American recipes). It comes in a see-through bottle with a green squirt top (looks bright red because that’s the sauce’s color). And it is delicious.
