Ingredients:

  • 4 medium ripe tomatoes, diced
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1-2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and minced (adjust for spice level)
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for a smoother texture)

Prep Time:

  • 10 minutes

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Tomatoes:
    Start by dicing the tomatoes into small, bite-sized cubes. You can remove the seeds if you prefer a less watery salsa, but it’s optional. Place the diced tomatoes in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Chop the Vegetables:
    Finely chop the red onion and jalapeño peppers. Adjust the amount of jalapeño according to your desired heat level. If you prefer a milder salsa, remove the seeds from the jalapeño. Add the chopped onion and peppers to the bowl with the tomatoes.
  3. Add Cilantro and Garlic:
    Chop the fresh cilantro leaves and mince the garlic cloves. Mix them into the tomato mixture.
  4. Season and Flavor:
    Squeeze the juice of one lime over the salsa for a bright, tangy flavor. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you like a hint of smokiness, add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin. For a smoother, richer texture, you can also drizzle in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, but this is optional.
  5. Mix and Taste:
    Gently toss all the ingredients together until everything is evenly distributed. Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning with more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño if needed.
  6. Chill (Optional):
    While fresh salsa can be served immediately, allowing it to chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes helps the flavors meld together even better.
