Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole Roma tomatoes
- 1 whole Jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 whole Red onion
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Sugar (optional)
Instructions
1. Rinse the Roma tomatoes, jalapeño pepper, cilantro, and red onion to ensure they are clean.
2. Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, uniform pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
3. Finely dice the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
4. For the jalapeño, remove the seeds if you want a milder salsa, or keep them in for added heat. Finely mince the jalapeño and add it to the bowl.
5. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the mixture.
6. Chop the fresh cilantro finely, measuring approximately 1/2 cup, and stir it into the bowl.
7. Squeeze the juice of one lime (about 2 tablespoons) into the bowl for a burst of freshness.
8. Add the salt, ground cumin, and optional sugar (for balancing acidity) to the bowl.
9. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until combined. Adjust salt and lime juice to taste if needed.
10. Cover the bowl and let the salsa rest in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite Mexican dishes.
