Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium (chopped) Tomatoes
- 0.5 medium (finely diced) Red onion
- 1 small (seeded and finely chopped) Jalapeño
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) Lime juice
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and fresh cilantro thoroughly.
Dice the tomatoes into small, even pieces, ensuring a consistent texture for the salsa.
Finely chop the red onion, being careful to achieve an even dice so the flavors distribute evenly.
Slice the jalapeño in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, and finely chop. For extra spice, retain some seeds.
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro, removing any large stems for a smooth texture.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
Add the freshly squeezed lime juice, salt, black pepper, and ground cumin to the vegetable mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure the flavors are fully mixed.
Gently fold in the plain Greek yogurt, being careful not to crush the vegetables. The yogurt will add creaminess without overpowering the salsa's freshness.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more lime juice, salt, or pepper to suit your preference.
Chill the salsa in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve with tortilla chips, grilled meats, or as a topping for your favorite tacos.
