Dice the Roma tomatoes into small cubes, removing the seeds if desired for a less watery consistency.
Peel and dice the red onion into fine, small pieces.
Seed and dice the green bell pepper into small, evenly sized cubes.
Chop the cilantro finely, including some tender stems for added flavor.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers with the chopped cilantro.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and lime juice over the vegetable mixture.
Sprinkle in the sea salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Gently toss all the ingredients together until evenly coated and combined.
Let the Vinagrete sit for 5-10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld together.
