Ingredients
- 4 medium Roma tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 small Jalapeño
- 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 large Lime
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash all fresh produce under cool water and pat dry.
Step 2
Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, even-sized pieces and add them to a medium mixing bowl.
Step 3
Finely chop the red onion and jalapeño (remove the seeds for less heat if desired), and add them to the bowl.
Step 4
Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and mince the garlic, then stir them into the mix.
Step 5
Zest and juice the lime into the bowl for a fresh, tangy flavor.
Step 6
Sprinkle in the chia seeds, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Step 7
Let the salsa sit for 10 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb some of the liquid and thicken the mixture slightly.
Step 8
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, over tacos, or as a topping for grilled meats, or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
