Ingredients

• 3 whole jalapenos
• 1 cup green olives
• 2 whole roma tomatoes
• 0.5 whole red onion
• 0.25 cup cilantro
• 1 whole lime
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash all fresh produce: jalapenos, tomatoes, cilantro, and lime.

Step 2

Carefully remove the stems from the jalapenos and dice them into small pieces. For a milder salsa, remove the seeds and membranes.

Step 3

Dice the green olives into smaller chunks to make them easier to mix and eat.

Step 4

Chop the roma tomatoes and red onion into small, even pieces to ensure consistency in the salsa texture.

Step 5

Mince the garlic cloves finely for a well-distributed flavor.

Step 6

Roughly chop the cilantro leaves, discarding any thick stems.

Step 7

Juice the lime into a small bowl, removing any seeds beforehand.

Step 8

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced jalapenos, olives, tomatoes, red onion, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro.

Step 9

Add the lime juice and olive oil to the bowl as a dressing.

Step 10

Season the salsa with sea salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your preference.

Step 11

Gently mix all the ingredients until well combined.

Step 12

Let the salsa sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, as a topping for tacos, or alongside grilled meats.
