Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium-sized Roma tomatoes
- 0.5 medium-sized White onion
- 0.5 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 1 medium-sized Fresh jalapeño pepper
- 1 whole Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the Roma tomatoes thoroughly under cold water. Chop them into small, evenly-sized pieces and transfer to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Finely dice half of a medium-sized white onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Chop the fresh cilantro leaves into small pieces, measuring approximately 1/2 cup. Add it to the tomato and onion mixture.
Carefully dice the jalapeño pepper. For a milder salsa, remove the seeds and membrane before chopping. Add the diced jalapeño to the bowl.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze its juice over the mixture, ensuring as much juice as possible is extracted.
Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper over the ingredients in the bowl.
Gently mix all the ingredients together with a spoon until well combined and the flavors are evenly distributed.
Taste the salsa and adjust salt, pepper, or lime juice as desired to suit your preference.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or as a topping for tacos, burritos, or grilled meats. For best results, allow the salsa to chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
