Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium, diced Roma tomatoes
- 0.5 cup, finely chopped Red onion
- 0.5 cup, diced Cucumber
- 0.5 cup, diced Green bell pepper
- 1 small, seeded and minced Jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 cup, chopped Cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 clove, minced Garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
Instructions
Begin by washing all fresh vegetables thoroughly under cold water.
Dice the Roma tomatoes, ensuring to remove the seeds for a smoother consistency. Place them into a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion, and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Dice the cucumber while retaining its skin for extra crunch and color. Add to the mixing bowl.
Remove seeds from the green bell pepper, dice it, and include it with the other vegetables.
Seed and mince the jalapeño pepper, adjusting the amount based on your heat preference. Combine it with the other diced ingredients.
Chop the cilantro leaves coarsely and mix them into the vegetable blend.
In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and ground cumin.
Pour the lime and garlic dressing over the diced vegetables, mixing everything thoroughly to ensure an even coating.
Taste the salsa and adjust the lime juice or cilantro if desired for more brightness or herbal complexity.
Let the salsa sit for at least 10 minutes at room temperature to allow flavors to meld before serving.
Serve the salsa as a dip with low sodium tortilla chips, or use it as a topping for grilled meats, tacos, or salads.
