Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized ripe tomatoes
- 0.5 medium-sized white onion
- 1 whole jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 whole lime
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 whole garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the tomatoes thoroughly under cool water. Dice them into small, uniform pieces and transfer to a medium mixing bowl.
Peel and finely dice the onion. Add the diced onion to the mixing bowl with the tomatoes.
Slice the jalapeño pepper in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and ribs for a milder salsa, or leave them in for extra heat. Finely mince the jalapeño and add it to the bowl.
Chop the cilantro leaves finely and add to the mixture. Avoid using the stems for a clean flavor profile.
Peel and mince the garlic clove. Stir it into the bowl with the other ingredients.
Roll the lime on the countertop to release its juices, then cut it in half. Squeeze the juice into the bowl, ensuring no seeds are added.
Sprinkle the kosher salt over the mixture and, if desired, drizzle in the olive oil for a richer texture.
Using a spoon, gently toss all ingredients together until evenly combined.
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning with additional lime juice or salt, if needed.
Let the salsa sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, tacos, or your favorite dishes.
