Ingredients

• 2 medium sweet onions
• 4 medium roma tomatoes
• 1 medium jalapeño pepper
• 0.5 cup, finely chopped cilantro
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

• 2 cloves, minced garlic

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely dice the sweet onions and Roma tomatoes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Carefully remove the seeds and membrane from the jalapeño pepper (if you prefer less heat). Finely chop the jalapeño and add it to the bowl.

Add the finely chopped cilantro to the mixture.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and sugar until well combined. Pour this dressing over the onion and tomato mixture.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the bowl and gently toss all ingredients together until they are evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 6

Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, lime juice, or sugar as necessary.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the salsa sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Serve chilled with tortilla chips, or as a topping for your favorite grilled dishes or tacos.
