Ingredients

1 bunch cilantro see note. leafy parts only
1 bunch green onions sliced
2 cloves garlic minced
8 ounces El Pato hot tomato sauce
28 ounces tomatoes canned, whole or diced. divided
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 lime juiced

Instructions

Place the cilantro, green onions, garlic, hot tomato sauce and 1/2 of the tomatoes into a blender or food processor.
Pulse until the cilantro and green onions are the desired size. You don't want to liquefy the mixture.
Add the remaining tomatoes and pulse just a few times. You want them to still be somewhat chunky.
Transfer mixture to a bowl.
Add the garlic salt and lime and stir.
Refrigerate until ready to serve. Give it a good stir before serving.

Notes

I really like cilantro, so I used almost an entire bunch. Unless you're a total cilantro-aholic, I recommend using 1/2 a bunch. You can always add more but it's really hard to take it back out!

If you'd like a little white onion and/or jalapeno in your salsa, just chop and add to the blender before processing.
