Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium-sized Roma tomatoes
- 1 small Red onion
- 1 large Jalapeño pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 1 large (juiced) Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
Instructions
Wash all produce thoroughly under running water and pat dry with a clean towel.
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, even pieces. Place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño pepper (for less spice) or leave them in (for more spice). Finely dice the jalapeño and add it to the mixing bowl.
Mince the garlic cloves and stir them into the mixture.
Chop the fresh cilantro finely, ensuring you remove any tough stems. Measure out half a cup and add it to the bowl.
Roll the lime on a counter to release its juices, then cut it in half and squeeze the juice into the mixture.
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and ground cumin over the ingredients in the bowl.
Gently mix all the ingredients together with a spoon until well combined.
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño for your preferred flavor.
Refrigerate the salsa for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Serve chilled with tortilla chips or use as a topping for your favorite dishes.
