Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium (about 1 pound) yellow tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 small jalapeño pepper
- 0.25 cup, chopped cilantro
- 1 medium, juiced lime
- 1 clove, minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cumin (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Wash the yellow tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño pepper, and cilantro thoroughly under cold running water.
Dice the yellow tomatoes into small, evenly sized pieces and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Remove the stem and seeds from the jalapeño pepper for a milder salsa. Chop the pepper finely and add it to the mixing bowl.
Add the chopped cilantro to the bowl.
Juice the lime into a small bowl, ensuring no seeds fall in, and pour the fresh lime juice over the salsa mixture.
Add the minced garlic, salt, and ground cumin (if using) to the salsa, then drizzle with olive oil.
Gently toss all the ingredients together until evenly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, grilled meats, or eggs. For the best flavor, allow the salsa to rest in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
