Ingredients

• 4 medium Roma tomatoes
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 1 medium Jalapeño pepper
• 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves
• 1 large Garlic clove
• 1 large Lime
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing all the produce thoroughly.

Step 2

Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, evenly sized pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.

Step 3

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

Step 4

For a mild salsa, remove the seeds from the jalapeño pepper before finely chopping it. If you prefer a spicier salsa, leave the seeds intact. Add the chopped jalapeño to the bowl.

Step 5

Mince the garlic clove and finely chop the cilantro leaves. Stir both into the tomato mixture.

Step 6

Slice the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the salsa mixture, ensuring no seeds end up in the bowl.

Step 7

Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture, then add the salt and black pepper.

Step 8

Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined.

Step 9

Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.

Step 10

Serve the California Stand by Salsa Dip immediately with tortilla chips, or refrigerate for an hour to enhance the flavors before serving.
