Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Roma tomatoes
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 1 small Jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 cup Cilantro
- 1 large Lime
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cumin powder
Instructions
Start by washing and drying the Roma tomatoes. Cut them in half and scoop out any excess seeds and juice. Chop the tomatoes into small, even pieces and place them into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Finely dice the red onion and add it to the mixing bowl with the chopped tomatoes.
For the jalapeño, cut it in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membrane if you prefer a milder salsa. Finely dice the jalapeño and add it to the bowl.
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro leaves, removing any large stems, and add it to the bowl.
Juice the lime and pour the fresh lime juice over the chopped vegetables.
Peel and mince the garlic clove, then add it to the mixture.
Season the salsa with salt, ground black pepper, and cumin powder.
Mix all the ingredients together until they are well combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salsa to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve your fresh, low carb salsa with your favorite low carb tortillas, keto-friendly chips, or as a topping on your favorite dishes.
