Mince the garlic clove using a knife or garlic press and stir it into the mixture.

Step 6

Chop the cilantro leaves and add them to the bowl, discarding thick stems.

Step 7

Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the salsa mixture. Make sure to catch any seeds during the process.

Step 9

Gently stir all ingredients until well combined and let the salsa sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
