Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium, diced Tomatoes
- 1 small, finely diced White onion
- 1 cup, finely chopped Cilantro leaves
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 finely chopped (optional for spice) Jalapeño or green chili
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons, or to taste Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons, or to taste Black pepper
Instructions
Start by washing and preparing all your produce: dice the tomatoes, finely dice the onion, and chop the cilantro leaves.
If using a jalapeño or green chili for spice, remove the seeds and finely chop the chili.
In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, cilantro, minced garlic, and chopped jalapeño (if using).
Drizzle in the olive oil, red wine vinegar, and lemon juice. These ingredients will provide the salsa with a bright and tangy flavor.
Add the ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Adjust the amounts to your taste preferences.
Mix everything together thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly distributed and the salsa has a consistent texture.
Let the pebre rest in the refrigerator for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
Serve the pebre salsa chilled or at room temperature. It pairs wonderfully with crusty bread, grilled meats, empanadas, or simply as a dip.
