Homemade salsa is a type of spicy, flavorful sauce that originated in Mexico. This flavorful mixture of fresh ingredients, such as tomatoes, onions, peppers, and herbs, offers a unique blend of taste and texture that can elevate any dish.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic, onion, and green bell pepper; sauté for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat.
Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a blender and pulse until roughly blended. Add the roasted tomatoes, cilantro, salt, pepper, sugar, and lemon juice; blend for an additional 10 seconds.
