Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Roma tomatoes
- 0.5 Green bell pepper
- 0.25 Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 Lime
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 0.5 Jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by washing all the fresh produce under cool, running water to remove any dirt or residues.
Core the Roma tomatoes and remove the seeds, then finely dice the tomato flesh. This helps to keep the salsa low in carbs by reducing the liquid content.
Slice the green bell pepper in half, remove the seeds and membranes, then finely dice the flesh.
Peel and finely chop the red onion.
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro leaves, discarding the stems.
Juice the lime, ensuring you have enough juice to add a fresh citrus flavor to the salsa.
Crush or finely mince the garlic cloves to incorporate evenly into the salsa.
For a mild heat, deseed and finely chop half of a jalapeño pepper. If you like slightly more heat, you can leave some seeds in or adjust the amount.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, minced garlic, and jalapeño.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salsa for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve chilled with your choice of low-carb accompaniments.
