Dice the tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and stir them into the bowl with the other ingredients.
Add the lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined.
