Quick and Easy Pantry Salsa

A quick and easy recipe using staples from my pantry that makes a yummy salsa that has a nice kick equal to "mild" salsa. If you like your salsa hotter, try using 'regular' or 'hot' Ro-Tel , it's easy to adjust the heat in this recipe to your own taste.

Quick and Easy Pantry Salsa

1 (15 oz.) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (10 oz.) can mild Ro-Tel, undrained
1 TBSP. dried minced onion (or 2 TBSP. diced onion)
1 tsp. minced garlic
2 tsp. lime juice or lemon juice
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
1/8 tsp. ground cumin
1 TBSP. dried cilantro (or 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped)

Throw everything into food processor bowl. Pulse until well combined and slightly chunky, but not pureed. Transfer to a bowl, cover and chill until ready to serve. Makes about 2 cups.
