Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Roma tomatoes
- 1 medium White onion
- 0.5 bunch Fresh cilantro
- 1 medium Jalapeño pepper
- 1 medium Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash all produce thoroughly under cold water.
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, even pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
Finely chop the white onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Chop the fresh cilantro leaves, discarding large stems, and mix it into the bowl.
For a bit of heat, finely dice the jalapeño pepper. Remove seeds and membranes for a milder flavor, or leave them in for spicier salsa. Add the diced jalapeño to the bowl.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the mixture. Stir to combine.
Season the salsa with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Let the salsa sit for at least 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve immediately as a dip, topping, or side dish, or refrigerate for later use.
