Answer 2

Here it is, as simple as can be from cooksillustrated.com:

One Minute Salsa

This quick salsa can be made with either fresh or canned tomatoes, but if you're using fresh, make sure they are sweet, ripe, in-season tomatoes. If they aren't, canned tomatoes are a better choice.
INGREDIENTS

1/2 small jalapeño chile or 1/2 chipotle chile in adobo sauce, minced
1/4 small red onion , peeled and root end removed
1 small clove garlic , minced or pressed
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 teaspoon table salt
pinch ground black pepper
2 teaspoons lime juice from 1 lime
2 small tomatoes (about 3/4 pound), ripe, each cored and cut into eighths, or one (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained


Pulse all ingredients except tomatoes in food processor until minced, about five 1-second pulses, scraping sides of bowl as necessary. Add tomatoes and pulse until roughly chopped, about two 1-second pulses.
To Make Ahead:
The salsa can be refrigerated, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, for up to 2 days. Season with additional lime juice and salt before serving.

Answer 3

I made an unusual salsa the other day. Started with 2 cooked tomatoes and a handful of those small Serrano peppers. I chopped them in my blender, with salted pepper and garlic powder. I thought it was too hot for my taste so I looked in the fridge and took a peach and cut it up into the blender- then I still thought it was too hot but did not want to add water so I added 4 tablespoons of cranberry sauce. It tasted out of this world!! I loved it and my friend did too. I recommend it!!
