Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes
- 1 small red onion
- 1 medium jalapeño pepper
- 2 small garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 large lime
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Start by washing all your fresh ingredients thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
Dice the tomatoes into small chunks and add them to a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the tomatoes in the bowl.
Carefully seed and finely dice the jalapeño pepper. If you prefer less spice, remove all the seeds and ribs. Add the diced jalapeño to the mixing bowl.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl for a subtle but flavorful punch.
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro and measure out 1/2 cup. Stir it into the mixture for a burst of herby freshness.
Roll the lime on the countertop under your palm to release the juices, then cut it in half and squeeze the juice over the salsa mixture.
Sprinkle the ground cumin, salt, and black pepper over the mixture. These spices will elevate the flavors and add depth.
Drizzle the olive oil over everything for a hint of richness that ties the salsa together.
Mix everything gently but thoroughly with a spoon or spatula until all ingredients are well combined.
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño if desired.
Transfer the salsa to a serving dish or container and let it sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve fresh with tortilla chips, tacos, or any dish in need of a vibrant topping. Enjoy your 'I Should Sell This Salsa Salsa'!
