Luckily, we’ve finally found a recipe that shows us how to make that restaurant-style salsa at home. We’d probably spend all day trying to replicate the delicious tomato flavor, if that’s what it took, but luckily you can whip this baby up in under five minutes.

Thanks to blogger Iowa Girl Eats for showing us how.

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 28 oz can whole peeled tomatoes, undrained
  • ½ red onion
  • 1 handful cilantro leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 jalapeño
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ½ lime, juiced
