Ingredients

• 6 pieces Roma tomatoes
• 1 medium-sized Red onion
• 0.5 bunch Fresh cilantro
• 1 piece Jalapeño pepper
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 large Lime
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Sugar

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry all fresh ingredients: tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and lime.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Finely chop the red onion and cilantro leaves, discarding any thick cilantro stems. Add them to the bowl.

Step 4

Using gloves if preferred (to avoid irritation), finely dice the jalapeño. Adjust the amount based on your heat preference. Remove the seeds for less heat or keep them for a spicier salsa. Add the diced jalapeño to the mixing bowl.

Step 5

Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the mixture.

Step 6

Juice the lime and pour the freshly squeezed juice over the chopped ingredients in the bowl.

Step 7

Add the salt, ground cumin, and sugar to the mixture for seasoning. Stir everything together thoroughly to combine.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed—add more lime juice, salt, or jalapeño for customized flavor.

Step 9

Cover the bowl and let the salsa rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Serve chilled with tortilla chips, on tacos, or as a topping for your favorite dishes. Enjoy the fresh burst of flavor!
