Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

6 Roma tomatoes, diced
½ small red onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
½ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp black pepper

Equipment

mixing bowl
cutting board and knife
spoon or spatula

Method

In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, red onion, garlic, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
Stir until well combined. Taste and adjust salt or lime juice as needed.
Refrigerate for 30 minutes for best flavor, or serve immediately with chips, tacos, or grilled meat.

Notes

Use ripe Roma or vine tomatoes for best texture. For spicier salsa, keep the jalapeño seeds. Letting it chill for 30 minutes enhances the flavor. Keeps in the fridge for up to 5 days.
