Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Roma tomatoes
- 1 small Red onion
- 1 medium Jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 cup, chopped Cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the Roma tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, even pieces and add them to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Peel and finely chop the red onion. Add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Slice the jalapeño in half lengthwise, remove the seeds and ribs for a milder salsa, or leave some for added heat. Finely mince the jalapeño and add it to the bowl.
Chop the cilantro finely and measure out 1/2 cup. Add this to the mixing bowl.
Mince the garlic clove and mix it into the bowl with the other ingredients.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle with salt and ground black pepper.
Stir all the ingredients together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Allow the salsa to sit for 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld together before serving.
Serve with tortilla chips, or use as a topping for tacos, grilled meats, or salads.
