Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini
• 3 medium tomatoes
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 1 small jalapeño pepper
• 0.5 cup, chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 large lime
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry all of your vegetables and herbs.

Step 2

Dice the zucchini into small, evenly-sized cubes (about 1/4-inch pieces) to ensure a uniform texture.

Step 3

Core and dice the tomatoes into similar-sized pieces as the zucchini.

Step 4

Finely dice half of a red onion, ensuring small pieces so that the onion doesn’t overpower the salsa.

Step 5

Slice the jalapeño in half lengthwise, remove the seeds (or keep them for more heat), and mince finely.

Step 6

Chop the fresh cilantro leaves until you have approximately 1/2 cup. Discard the stems or save them for another recipe.

Step 7

Juice the lime into a small bowl or directly over the vegetable mixture, ensuring you extract as much juice as possible.

Step 8

Combine the diced zucchini, tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro in a large mixing bowl.

Step 9

Add the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasoning.

Step 10

Taste the salsa and adjust salt, pepper, or lime juice to your preference.

Step 11

Serve immediately as a fresh dip for tortilla chips, a topping for grilled chicken or fish, or as a side for tacos. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
