• 0.5 cup (chopped) Cilantro leaves
• 1 medium Lime
• 1 clove Garlic

Directions

Step 1

Wash all the fresh produce thoroughly under running water.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

For a mild salsa, remove the seeds from the jalapeño pepper. For a spicier salsa, leave the seeds intact. Finely dice the jalapeño and add it to the bowl.

Step 5

Chop the cilantro leaves and add them to the bowl. Be sure to remove any tough stems.

Step 6

Mince the garlic clove finely and add it to the mixture.

Step 7

Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the salsa mixture, ensuring no seeds fall in.

Step 8

Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the mixture, and drizzle with olive oil if using.

Step 9

Gently stir all the ingredients together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 10

Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, burritos, or grilled meats. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
