Ingredients

• 4 whole Roma tomatoes
• 0.5 whole Red onion
• 1 whole Jalapeño pepper
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 whole Lime
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse all vegetables and the cilantro thoroughly under cold water.

Step 2

Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, evenly sized pieces, and place them into a mixing bowl.

Step 3

Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Step 4

Cut the jalapeño in half, remove the seeds and membranes for a milder salsa (or leave them for extra heat), then finely dice. Add to the bowl.

Step 5

Chop the fresh cilantro leaves (discarding the thick stems) and measure out half a cup. Add this to the mixture.

Step 6

Mince the garlic cloves finely and stir them into the salsa.

Step 7

Cut the lime in half and squeeze its juice over the mixture, ensuring there are no seeds.

Step 8

Add the salt and black pepper, then mix everything together thoroughly with a spoon or spatula.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more lime or salt to your preference.

Step 10

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let the salsa chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 11

Serve with tortilla chips, on tacos, or as a topping for your favorite dishes. Enjoy your fresh salsa!
