- 0.5 cup, loosely packed fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Wash all produce thoroughly under cold running water.
Dice the ripe tomatoes into small, even pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño pepper for less heat (or leave them in for a spicier salsa), then finely dice it and add to the mixture.
Mince the garlic clove and stir it into the bowl.
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro and mix it into the salsa.
Add the lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning with more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño if desired.
Let the salsa rest for 5-10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld together.
