Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Roma tomatoes
- 1 medium Red onion
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 medium Jalapeño pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (optional)
Instructions
Wash the Roma tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño pepper, and cilantro thoroughly.
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, even-sized pieces and add them to a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and fresh cilantro and add them to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Slice the jalapeño pepper in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and ribs for less heat, or leave them in if you prefer a spicier salsa. Finely dice the jalapeño and add it to the bowl.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and stir them into the mixture.
In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, salt, and ground cumin. Whisk together, then pour over the salsa ingredients.
Gently stir everything together until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. If desired, drizzle in a small amount of olive oil for added richness.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite dishes. For the best flavor, let the salsa sit for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
