Traditional Mexican or Spanish salsa is based on tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. Some chopped fresh veggie condiments are also referred to as pico de gallo. Which is salsa in English.
I use tomatoes, garlic salt, lemon juice, jalapenos, green onions, cilantro and I cut them up and put them in the bowl in that order... its the best way I've found to produce the juiciest yet chunky salsa.
Salsa
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes
1/2 onion, finely diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 lime, juiced
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup canned sliced green chiles, or to taste
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Combine the tomatoes, onion, garlic, lime juice, salt, jalapenos and cilantro in a blender or food processor.
Blend on low to desired smoothness.

When I make salsa I put loads of fresh, ripe tomatoes, white onions, mushrooms, banana catsup, hot sauce and cream cheese. Try it. :)
But do not mix everything; make layers instead. And consume it as soon as possible. With the tomatoes and cream cheese, it's prone to spoilage.
