Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 habanero peppers
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes
- 1 small red onion
- 0.5 cup cilantro
- 1 lime
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
Instructions
Begin by washing the habanero peppers and tomatoes thoroughly under running water.
Using gloves, remove the stems and seeds from the habanero peppers to control the heat—unless you prefer maximum spiciness! Chop the peppers finely.
Dice the tomatoes into small pieces and add them to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Peel and finely chop the red onion, adding it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Roughly chop the cilantro and add it to the bowl.
Mince the garlic cloves and add to the mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of one lime, olive oil, vinegar, and salt. Mix well to combine.
Pour the lime and oil mixture over the salsa ingredients and gently stir until everything is well combined.
Taste the salsa and adjust the salt or lime juice if needed.
Let the salsa rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the habanero salsa with chips, over tacos, or as a spicy condiment with your favorite dishes. Enjoy responsibly, as it can be quite spicy!
