This 3-Minute Whole30 Blender Salsa is THE EASIEST it gets for a delicious sauce. It’s naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, nut-free, and vegan. Also, it uses canned tomatoes for a result that is fast but tastes restaurant-level good! We stopped buying jarred salsa years ago when I created this recipe. All of my kids can make it, from my 18 year old down to my 10 year old. It’s that easy!

3-Minute Blender Salsa
Ingredients
- 1/2 bunch cilantro about 1 cup packed
- 1 medium onion skin removed and quartered
- 1 14oz can diced tomatoes
- 1 10oz can diced tomatoes with green chilis
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2-1 seeded jalapeno optional, depends on how spicy you like it!
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
Instructions
- In a food processor, pulse the cilantro and onion finely chopped.
- Add remaining ingredients and pulse to combine - careful, it doesn't take much to combine this, I only need 6-7 pulses in my blender. Pulse until finely chopped to desired consistency. Stores in the fridge for up to a week.

This came together so quickly and using canned tomatoes ensured a rich tomato-y taste. The texture is perfect. My husband fell in love with a store bought salsa but it has sugar so I had to try Autumn’s recipe. He loved this too!
WAHOO that this was a hubby win too! My boys can’t go back to store-bought salsa since. Thank you!
My “go to” always in the fridge salsa. Quick and easy was to make any dish taste fresh and spicy.
This is a must-have in our fridge as well, love that it’s so easy! Thank you!
This has become a staple of our taco nights and I’m making it again tonight. I can’t believe I haven’t been doing this all my life – it’s the best!
Couldn’t have said it better myself – so easy and tastes so much better than jarred salsa without a lot of work. Thank you!
This salsa is so quick and easy. I love the use of canned tomatoes for this dish. Great with eggs or on a bowl
This salsa is just so easy and quick to make! It’s a great addition to a bowl or on eggs.
This is a family favorite. My husband is always so happy when I make this fresh homemade salsa, never failing to mention how much better it is than store bought.
Very easy and yummy!
Wahoo for this easy recipe being such a win! We can’t go back to store-bought since!
This salsa is fantastic! It comes together so quickly. It quickly replaced our normal go-to fresh salsa recipe. And the best part, my ultra picky eater LOVES it, and can make it by herself. Thanks for the great recipe!
My husband loves a store bought restaurant style salsa, but it has sugar in it. I decided to try this recipe for him and he loves this now! The canned tomatoes ensure a rich tomato flavor no matter what time of year it is. I love that it is easily tweakable for hotness, cilantro, and onion preferences. It is addicting!
