This canned tomato salsa recipe is so good and will get you through until tomato growing season arrives, or if you’re in a pinch.
Easy Canned Tomato Salsa Appetizer Recipe
I love to garden and am fortunate enough to have a garden in our backyard, but during the winter months in Iowa we don’t have the fresh tomatoes like we do in the hot summer months, so sometimes I have to forego my homemade salsa with fresh ingredients and settle for canned tomatoes, which is fine by me as this salsa is fantastic, too. I don’t like the taste of jarred salsa, so I find myself always venturing back to this canned tomato salsa recipe and I hope you like it as much as I do.
First off, get your blender ready as I do this salsa in the blender. I suppose you could make the salsa in the food processor, but I think it’s easiest to dump it all in and press “blend”.
It truly is that easy so I only have a couple of images to show you how to make this .. .and they’re all in the collage above. 😀 Dump and go & easy does it will be the nicknames for this tomato salsa.
And, for the canned tomato salsa recipe:

Hello, my name is Kathy, I live in Adelaide S.A. I work I a child care centre as a cook, I love this page, so many good recipes,, has helped me out a lot thankyou, anyway I was just wondering, what is cilantro, is that corrianda.
Cilantro can be found next to the parsley, well at least in our local grocery store. The leafy part of the coriander plant is the part they are calling for in this recipe. Hope this helps!!
Kathy, I happened upon this and realized no one had responded to your question. Yes, cilantro is the leaf of the coriander plant. The seeds are ground and sold as the spice that we call “coriander.” Hope that was helpful!
Oops, sorry I see you have already answered!!
This is pretty much my recipe but we add the juice of a couple of limes. Awesome!
Boil the jalapeño in a pot of water for about 7 minutes first (just cut the stem off) throw in blender and it kicks the heat up a notch. Remember to keep the seeds just cut the stem off.
Hi, the 4 T is supposed to be 4 Tablespoons of chopped cilantro and the 2 t is for 2 teaspoons of lime juice. I have not made this recipe but have made homemade salsa and will certainly try this recipe. The reason to wait for 24 hours is the flavors sort of mix up together and all compliment and help each other taste better the next day BUT it is also pretty dang good right out of the blender! Hope this helps!!
Fresh garlic instead of powder!
Yes, I too would add one large clove of garlic instead of the powder. Love fresh garlic!
Made it today taste awesome how long will it last in the Refrigerator and was just wondering can you freeze it or would that make it too mushy when it defrost refrigerator
Hi Roger, Glad you love this like we do! I usually keep it in the fridge for 2 weeks or so, but I have never tried freezing it.
