Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Roma tomatoes
- 1 small Red onion
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 piece Jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cumin (optional)
Instructions
Wash and dry the Roma tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro thoroughly.
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, even cubes and add them to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Mince the garlic cloves and mix them into the bowl.
Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeño for a milder heat level, or leave them in for extra spice. Finely dice the jalapeño and stir it into the mixture.
Chop the cilantro leaves and measure out 1/2 cup. Add the cilantro to the salsa mixture.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the salsa, ensuring you collect 2 tablespoons of juice. Mix well to combine.
Season the salsa with salt, ground black pepper, and cumin (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Let the salsa sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, then serve fresh as a dip or topping.
