Need some tips on tomato salsa?

When you say "blend" i don't know if you mean you mixed all the ingredients together or you actually put everything in a blender. If it is the latter don't do that.
Definitely don't use tomato sauce. Salsas don't have tomato sauce.
A very important step is to filet your tomatoes. That simply means when you quarter them to begin with pull out all the seeds. The seeds and the stuff they're suspended in will make moosh out of your salsa. Just scrape them out with your fingers over the trash can, the garbage disposal or a bowl you're working with in the counter.
Your ingredients are great just try again. If you are comparing your salsa to the consistancy of the jarred ones in the store or the stuff you get at the cheap Mexican restaurants, keep in mind the tomatoes in those are cooked and not so desirable. You want a nice fresh chunky salsa (i think) and that will have enough liquid from the lime juice and chopped fresh tomatoes. to give it a little body. if you want it more on the saucy side you could puree some of the tomato meat but it's not necessary.

Do one of 2 things:
1. Finely habd chop everything super small.
2. Pulse it in the food processor, do not just turn it on and leave it there.
Or are you wanting to make more of a jarred salsa type salsa?

salsa always has a weird texture.
tomato sauce would make it taste really bad.
take the skin off teh tomatoes (to do this boil water throw them in for about 30 seconds or less quickly take them out and into a ice water bath.
the skin should come right off when rubbed.
keep the seeds in the jalapenos.do fresh garlic and salt.
roast the garlic for a more deep taste.
