Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Roma tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 whole Lime
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 whole Jalapeño pepper (seeds removed, optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Start by rinsing the Roma tomatoes under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Dice the tomatoes into small, even pieces and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Peel the red onion and dice half of it finely. Add the diced onion to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Rinse the cilantro under cold water and shake off excess water. Chop the cilantro leaves finely until you have about a quarter cup. Add it to the mixing bowl.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice into the bowl, making sure to catch any seeds.
Peel and mince the garlic clove, then add it to the mixing bowl.
For a mild salsa, slice the jalapeño pepper in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, and finely chop half of it. Add it to the mixture; you can omit this step for an even milder salsa.
Sprinkle salt and ground black pepper over the mixture.
Gently toss all the ingredients together with a spoon or spatula, ensuring an even distribution of juices and flavors.
Taste the salsa and adjust salt and lime juice as needed according to your preference.
Allow the salsa to sit for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve fresh with your favorite dishes or as a dip for chips.
