Fire-roasted tomatoes bring smoky depth to this salsa, while fresh jalapeño, onion, and garlic give it real bite. A handful of cilantro and a bright squeeze of lime juice keep everything tasting fresh, and a touch of cumin rounds out the flavor with warmth. The blender does all the work here — just pulse until you hit that perfect texture, chunky but not liquefied, then taste and adjust. It's ready in minutes and keeps well in the fridge for a solid five days, making it an easy go-to for chips, tacos, or grilled everything. This one's a great pick for a gluten free kitchen, no special equipment or hard-to-find ingredients required.
