Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Roma tomatoes
- 1 Small onion
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 Jalapeño pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin (optional)
Instructions
Wash and dry the Roma tomatoes, onion, jalapeño pepper, and fresh cilantro to ensure they are clean.
Dice the tomatoes into small, evenly sized pieces and add them to a medium mixing bowl.
Peel and finely chop the onion, then add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the jalapeño pepper, removing the seeds for less heat if desired. Add them to the mixing bowl.
Chop the fresh cilantro and stir it into the mixture for a burst of herby flavor.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the salsa mixture and sprinkle in the salt. Add the ground cumin if you'd like a hint of earthiness.
Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined. Taste and adjust the salt or lime juice as needed.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, nachos, or grilled meats. For even better flavor, let the salsa sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
