Wash and dry the tomatoes. Cut them into quarters and remove the seeds. Dice the tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
Finely chop half of a medium red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves, and add them to the mixture.
Chop the fresh cilantro finely, ensuring that there are no large stems, and add it to the bowl.
Slice the jalapeño pepper in half, remove the seeds and membrane for a milder dip, or leave them in for extra heat. Finely dice the jalapeño and add it to the mix.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the tomato mixture, ensuring there are no seeds.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the ingredients in the bowl.
Season the mixture with sea salt and black pepper.
Gently stir all ingredients together until well combined, ensuring the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the mix.
Cover the bowl with cling film and let the dip rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve with your choice of chips, cut vegetables, or as a condiment for other dishes.
