Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Roma tomatoes
- 1 small Red onion
- 1 medium Jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 cup (chopped) Cilantro leaves
- 1 medium Lime
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (optional)
Instructions
Wash all the fresh produce thoroughly under running water.
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, evenly-sized pieces and place them in a medium mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
For a mild salsa, remove the seeds from the jalapeño pepper. For a spicier salsa, leave the seeds intact. Finely dice the jalapeño and add it to the bowl.
Chop the cilantro leaves and add them to the bowl. Be sure to remove any tough stems.
Mince the garlic clove finely and add it to the mixture.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the salsa mixture, ensuring no seeds fall in.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the mixture, and drizzle with olive oil if using.
Gently stir all the ingredients together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, burritos, or grilled meats. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
