Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Roma tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 medium Jalapeño pepper
- 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves
- 1 large Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Start by washing all the vegetables thoroughly under cold running water.
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, even pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the cucumber if the skin is thick or waxy, then dice it into small pieces similar in size to the tomato and add to the bowl.
Core and finely dice the red bell pepper, ensuring to remove all seeds and inner membranes, and add it to the mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the vegetable mixture.
For the jalapeño, cut it in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs for a milder salsa. Finely chop it and add to the bowl. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after handling.
Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and add them to the salsa mixture.
Juice the lime and pour the fresh lime juice over the vegetable mixture.
Add salt, black pepper, and olive oil to the bowl and gently toss everything together until well combined.
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed.
Allow the salsa to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the low-carb fresh vegetable salsa immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
