Basic Mild Salsa - Similar to more mild resaurant salsas

 28 oz can peeled plum tomatoes
 12 oz can Ro-Tel original diced tomatoes & green chilies
 1 large white onion (about 5" in diameter) or 2 smaller white onions
 3 cloves garlic
 1 tsp cumin
 1 tsp salt
 2 tbsp splenda
 1 handful cilantro
1

put undrained can of whole tomatoes in blender

2

drain Ro-Tel tomatoes, then add to blender

3

Peel & cut up onion, add to blender

4

Peel & mince garlic, add to blender

5

add cilantro (minus stems) to blender

6

add cumin, salt, splenda

7

Mix it all in the blender. Run blender until everything is blended to the consistency you like - generally, I watch until I see the onion pieces the size I like, and the cilantro ground down.

chopping the cilantro in a small food processor or chopper beforehand makes the blending a bit quicker.

Original Recepie called for 1 Jalapeno - can be added for zing. Watch Cumin- too much will make it BROWN and unpleasant. Same for Garlic - 3 cloves goes much farther than expected because it's raw.
