Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized ripe tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 whole jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 cup (packed) cilantro
- 1 whole lime
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Wash and dice the tomatoes into small, even pieces. Place them in a large bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Carefully remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeño pepper (remove the seeds completely if you prefer a milder salsa). Finely mince the pepper and add it to the bowl.
Chop the cilantro finely and add it to the mixture.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves, then mix them into the bowl.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the fresh lime juice over the mixture.
Add the ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and olive oil to the bowl.
Mix everything thoroughly until the ingredients are well-combined.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more lime juice or salt if desired.
Let the salsa sit for 10-15 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite dishes. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
