Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Roma tomatoes
- 2 small jalapeño peppers
- 1 small red onion
- 0.5 cup cilantro leaves
- 1 large lime
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by washing all the vegetables and the cilantro leaves under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris.
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, even cubes and place them in a medium mixing bowl.
Slice the jalapeño peppers in half, remove the seeds, and finely chop them. Add them to the bowl with the tomatoes. For a spicier salsa, retain some seeds.
Peel and finely chop the red onion, then add it to the mixing bowl.
Chop the cilantro leaves finely and mix them in with the rest of the ingredients.
Juice the lime completely to extract its fresh juice. Pour the lime juice over the chopped vegetables.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and stir them into the salsa mixture.
Add the sea salt and black pepper, then gently mix all ingredients together until well combined.
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more salt or lime juice to taste.
Transfer the salsa to a serving dish or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve. For best flavor, allow the salsa to rest for at least 30 minutes to meld the flavors.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with your choice of Paleo-friendly dishes.
