Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 medium jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 cup cilantro
- 1 large lime
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño pepper, and cilantro thoroughly.
Dice the tomatoes into small, even pieces and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the tomatoes.
Slice the jalapeño in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membrane for a milder flavor, or leave them in for more heat. Finely dice the jalapeño and add it to the bowl.
Roughly chop the cilantro leaves (discarding stems) and measure out 0.5 cup. Add the chopped cilantro to the mixture.
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove, then add it to the mixing bowl.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves over the ingredients in the bowl, ensuring any seeds are removed.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the mixture.
Gently stir all the ingredients together until well combined and evenly coated in lime juice.
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite Mexican dishes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
