Ingredients

• 3 large ripe tomatoes
• 1 small red onion
• 2 medium garlic cloves
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 large lime
• 0.5 medium jalapeño pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Start by dicing the tomatoes. First, cut the tomatoes into quarters and remove the seeds. Then chop the flesh into small, even pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Finely dice the red onion and add to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Step 3

Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Add the minced garlic to the mixture in the bowl.

Step 4

Rinse the cilantro under cold water, pat it dry with a paper towel, and chop it roughly. Stir it into the tomato mixture.

Step 5

Cut the jalapeño pepper in half and remove the seeds for a mild heat, or leave them in for more spice. Finely chop the jalapeño and add to the bowl.

Step 6

Roll the lime on the countertop to loosen the juices, then cut it in half and squeeze the juice into the bowl using a citrus juicer or your hand, catching any seeds.

Step 7

Add the salt and black pepper to the mixture, adjusting both to taste after mixing.

Step 8

Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the mixture and gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined.

Step 9

Taste the dip and adjust seasoning or lime juice as needed.

Step 10

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dip for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Serve chilled with tortilla chips, pita bread, or as a topping for grilled meats or tacos.
