simple salsa

One year, one of my students gave me a most unique gift - homemade salsa!  It was absolutely delicious, and I begged for the recipe.  I was so surprised to find out how easy it was.  It literally takes only 5 minutes to make.  It keeps up to a week in the fridge, so it's perfect to make ahead and have ready for guests.

Simple Salsa

• 28 oz. can whole tomatoes
• 1 jalapeno (seeds and all...just cut off stem)
• 1/4 cup cilantro leaves
• 1/2 heaping teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 heaping teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 heaping teaspoon sugar
• 1 heaping teaspoon salt

Put all ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend until an even consistency.  Refrigerate.  Salsa is best about 24 hours after being made.
