My first ever salsa, any recommendations?

Edit: Thanks everyone for all the comments! Next time I will try:

  • Farmer's market tomatoes
  • Only salt (and maybe black pepper)
  • Lime juice
  • I won't do cilantro (tastes like soap >.<)
  • Less onion (better ratio) - switch to white onion
  • Possibly a different kind of pepper / dry peppers
  • Attempt not to blend so much
  • A tomato bouillon cube
  • Add some tomatillos
  • Less garlic / def not 2 full heads of garlic

----

I broiled the veggies for like 15mins.

5 Roma tomatoes
1 jalapeño
3 habanero peppers
1 purple onion
2 full heads of roasted garlic (roasted separately so wasn’t in the picture sorry)

Spices are 1/4 teaspoon of sugar, salt, cumin, black pepper, red chili flakes, and chili powder! Everything in a blender.

I like what I made but I’m missing that rich tomato flavor.
