Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized (about 1.5 lbs) green tomatoes
- 0.5 large white onion
- 1 medium-sized jalapeño pepper
- 0.25 cup (loosely packed) fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 clove (minced) garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Wash the green tomatoes thoroughly and cut them into quarters for easier chopping or processing.
Peel and dice the white onion into small pieces or roughly chop if using a food processor.
Slice the jalapeño pepper in half, remove the seeds and membrane if a milder salsa is preferred, and finely chop or rough chop for processing.
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro leaves, discarding thick stems.
If using a food processor, add the green tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the salsa reaches your desired consistency, whether chunky or smooth.
If chopping by hand, dice the green tomatoes, onion, and jalapeño finely. Combine all chopped ingredients into a large mixing bowl, then stir in the cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more lime juice, salt, or black pepper.
Chill the salsa in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with tortilla chips, over tacos, grilled meats, or as a zesty topping for salads.
