Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 medium jalapeño pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by washing all the fresh produce thoroughly under cold water.
Chop the tomatoes into small chunks and place them in a medium mixing bowl. For a smoother texture, you can deseed the tomatoes before chopping.
Finely dice the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Remove the seeds and finely chop the jalapeño pepper. If you prefer a milder salsa, omit the seeds. Add the chopped jalapeño to the bowl.
Mince the garlic clove and add it to the mixture.
Chop the fresh cilantro leaves and add them to the bowl. Adjust the quantity based on your preference for cilantro flavor.
Squeeze fresh lime juice into the bowl and sprinkle in the salt and black pepper.
Gently stir all the ingredients together until well combined. Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Let the salsa sit for about 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve fresh with tortilla chips, tacos, or any dish that could use a burst of fresh flavor!
