Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Mince the fresh cilantro and stir it into the mix.

Pour the fresh lime juice over the ingredients, and sprinkle in the sea salt and ground cumin. Stir everything together until well combined.

Step 9

For added richness, drizzle in the olive oil and mix well (optional).

Step 10

Let the salsa sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
