Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Roma tomatoes
- 0.5 whole Red onion
- 1 whole Jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 whole Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse all vegetables and the cilantro thoroughly under cold water.
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, evenly sized pieces, and place them into a mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Cut the jalapeño in half, remove the seeds and membranes for a milder salsa (or leave them for extra heat), then finely dice. Add to the bowl.
Chop the fresh cilantro leaves (discarding the thick stems) and measure out half a cup. Add this to the mixture.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and stir them into the salsa.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze its juice over the mixture, ensuring there are no seeds.
Add the salt and black pepper, then mix everything together thoroughly with a spoon or spatula.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more lime or salt to your preference.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let the salsa chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve with tortilla chips, on tacos, or as a topping for your favorite dishes. Enjoy your fresh salsa!
