Step 5: Blend and Pour

Blend for about a minute on slow speed. If you want it to be more of a puree than blend for longer on a higher speed. We made this salsa slightly chunky. Pour the contents into your serving bowl.

Step 6: *Optional* Add Cilantro and Onion

Add a little bit of chopped cilantro and onions when your ready to eat it! This will add a lot of flavor and make taste even more fresh if it's a few days old. It is important to note that if you put onions and cilantro it will not store properly. This is because the acidity from the cilantro and onion burns the salsa gradually. To store, leave the onion and cilantro separate.
