Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Roma tomatoes
- 1 piece jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 piece white onion
- 0.5 cup cilantro
- 1 piece lime
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash all produce thoroughly, including the tomatoes, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime.
Finely chop the Roma tomatoes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Dice the white onion into small pieces and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Mince the garlic cloves finely or press them with a garlic press, and mix them into the bowl.
Remove the seeds from the jalapeño for a milder salsa or keep them in for added heat. Finely chop the jalapeño and add it to the mixture.
Chop the cilantro leaves and discard the stems. Measure ½ cup of the chopped cilantro and stir it into the bowl.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze its juice over the salsa mixture, ensuring no seeds are included.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper evenly over the salsa. Mix all ingredients thoroughly to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice, if needed.
Let the salsa rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
