Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large ripe tomatoes
- 1 small red onion
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 piece jalapeño pepper
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 piece lime
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro thoroughly under running water.
Dice the tomatoes into small, even pieces and transfer them to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the diced tomatoes.
Remove the seeds from the jalapeño pepper for a milder flavor, or keep them for extra heat, and finely chop the jalapeño; add it to the tomato mixture.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl.
Chop the fresh cilantro leaves finely and add to the other ingredients in the bowl.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze out the juice into the bowl, ensuring no seeds fall into the mix.
Pour 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over the mixture.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting the amount to taste.
Stir all the ingredients together gently until well combined.
Serve the tomato dip immediately with your choice of chips, or cover and refrigerate to allow the flavors to meld for at least 30 minutes before serving.
