When you live in Washington, access to fresh tomatoes only comes once per year, but our family loves salsa year-round, so canned tomatoes were always my Mom's go-to during the non-summer months. She has been perfecting this recipe over the years and it is a family favorite. I love how easy it is to make, and requires very few fresh ingredients, which makes it an amazing option for the winter months, but please believe this is good all year round. Do not omit the mint, it is the "secret" ingredient that takes this salsa up a notch.
An easy salsa, using canned tomatoes and a few fresh ingredients. Comes together easily and is great to serve as an appetizer with chips or can so your future self and thank your past self.
1 15 ounce can of tomatoes
1 10 ounce can of roasted tomatoes with chiles
1 clove garlic
1/4 teaspoon dried mint or 1 tablespoon fresh
1/4 teaspoon cumin

1/8 teaspoon sugar
