There are many recipes on recipezaar.com. Just be sure it has lots of lime and cilantro. That makes the best salsa.

Here it is, as simple as can be from cooksillustrated.com:

One Minute Salsa

This quick salsa can be made with either fresh or canned tomatoes, but if you’re using fresh, make sure they are sweet, ripe, in-season tomatoes. If they aren’t, canned tomatoes are a better choice.
INGREDIENTS

1/2 small jalapeño chile or 1/2 chipotle chile in adobo sauce, minced
1/4 small red onion , peeled and root end removed
1 small clove garlic , minced or pressed
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 teaspoon table salt
pinch ground black pepper
2 teaspoons lime juice from 1 lime
2 small tomatoes (about 3/4 pound), ripe, each cored and cut into eighths, or one (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained

Pulse all ingredients except tomatoes in food processor until minced, about five 1-second pulses, scraping sides of bowl as necessary. Add tomatoes and pulse until roughly chopped, about two 1-second pulses.
To Make Ahead:
The salsa can be refrigerated, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, for up to 2 days. Season with additional lime juice and salt before serving.

Answer by CARMIE
I made an unusual salsa the other day. Started with 2 cooked tomatoes and a handful of those small Serrano peppers. I chopped them in my blender, with salted pepper and garlic powder. I thought it was too hot for my taste so I looked in the fridge and took a peach and cut it up into the blender- then I still thought it was too hot but did not want to add water so I added 4 tablespoons of cranberry sauce. It tasted out of this world!! I loved it and my friend did too. I recommend it!!
