Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes
- 0.5 red onion
- 1 small jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 cup cilantro leaves
- 1 lime
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Start by washing all fresh produce under cold water to remove any dirt or residue.
Dice the ripe tomatoes into small cubes and place them in a medium-sized bowl.
Finely chop half of a red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Remove the seeds from the jalapeño pepper, then finely mince the pepper and add it to the tomato and onion mixture.
Chop the cilantro leaves and add approximately half a cup to the bowl. Adjust the amount to taste.
Juice the lime and pour the fresh lime juice over the salsa mixture.
Season the mixture with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the salsa and gently stir all the ingredients together until well combined.
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning, if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice to suit your preference.
Cover the bowl and let the salsa sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, grilled meats, or any of your favorite dishes.
