Once you get the prep work (chopping and dicing) completed the rest of the recipe is gravy I mean…salsa, which in Spanish means sauce.
Sure you could throw the ingredients in the food processor and let it do all the work, but please don’t do it. Experience a bit of zen with the repetitive motion of your chef’s knife against the fresh produce. Besides you will lose a lot of the texture if you opt the food processor route.
So do it by hand.
Lots of prep work for making this dish. In fact it's all about prepping the ingredients and that's the way you should approach it. Yes, you can make it easy by throwing ingredients into the food processor and it will still taste great but you will lose a lot of the texture.
If you have the time, savor the process and chop up most of the ingredients by hand. You may even find you like the repetitive action of cutting and dicing. I find it very relaxing when I'm stressed out. If you must use a food processor to save time, at least cut up the tomatoes by hand.
