Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole Roma tomatoes
- 1 medium Red onion
- 1 whole Jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 cup Cilantro leaves
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 1 whole Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash all the vegetables and cilantro thoroughly under cold running water.
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, evenly-sized chunks and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Peel and finely chop the red onion, then add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Remove the seeds and membrane from the jalapeño pepper if you prefer a milder salsa, then finely dice it. If you like more heat, leave the seeds in. Add the diced jalapeño to the mixing bowl.
Finely chop the cilantro leaves and add them to the bowl.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the mixture.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze its juice into the bowl, ensuring no seeds fall in.
Season the salsa with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Stir everything together gently until well combined. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Let the salsa sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, or serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a garnish for tacos, grilled meats, or salads.
