Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Roma tomatoes
- 1 small Red onion
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 1 whole Jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 cup Cilantro leaves
- 1 whole Lime
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the Roma tomatoes thoroughly under running water.
Dice the tomatoes into small, evenly sized pieces, discarding the seeds if preferred for a less watery salsa.
Peel and finely chop the small red onion, ensuring no large pieces are left to overpower the mixture.
Rinse and chop the green bell pepper into small cubes, carefully removing the seeds and pith for a milder taste.
Slice the jalapeño pepper in half lengthwise and remove seeds and membranes to reduce the heat. If you prefer a spicier salsa, leave some seeds. Finely dice the jalapeño.
Rinse the cilantro leaves and gently pat dry with paper towels. Roughly chop the leaves.
Juice the lime into a small bowl, making sure to remove any seeds.
Peel and mince the large garlic clove.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, onion, green bell pepper, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and minced garlic.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper according to taste.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly using a large spoon, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Once chilled, taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Serve the fresh vegetable salsa with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite Mexican dishes.
