Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole Roma tomatoes
- 1 medium Red onion
- 1 whole Jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 whole Garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Wash and dry the Roma tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño pepper, and fresh cilantro.
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, uniform chunks and place them in a mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat, or leave them for a spicier salsa). Add them to the mixing bowl.
Mince the garlic clove and roughly chop the fresh cilantro. Combine them with the other ingredients in the bowl.
Add the fresh lime juice, salt, ground cumin (if using), and sugar (if using) to the bowl.
Gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with more lime juice, salt, or cilantro.
Cover the salsa and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with tortilla chips, tacos, or as a topping for grilled meats.
