    • 2 teaspoons olive oil
    • ⅓ cup firmly packed fresh cilantro leaves
    • 🍋 1 lime, juiced
    • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
    • 1 pinch cayenne pepper (or to taste)

2

Spread cherry tomatoes, onion, and unpeeled garlic onto the prepared baking sheet.

3

Cook under the preheated broiler for 5 minutes. Turn the baking sheet and continue broiling until vegetables are charred, about 5 minutes more. Cool slightly.

4

Remove garlic from peels and discard the peels.

5

Blend broiled vegetables (tomatoes, onion, peeled garlic), cilantro, lime juice, cumin, cayenne, and oregano in a blender until smooth. Adjust taste with salt and black pepper.

6

Transfer salsa to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to blend.

💡 Use the ripest cherry tomatoes for maximum sweetness and flavor.Add a fresh jalapeño pepper to the mix for extra heat and depth.For a chunkier salsa, pulse the blender lightly instead of running at full speed.This salsa pairs perfectly with tortilla chips, tacos, or as a topping for grilled chicken.
