Directions

Step 1

Wash all produce under running water to remove dirt and debris.

Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, even cubes and transfer them to a mixing bowl.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Remove the stem and seeds from the jalapeño pepper for mild heat, or leave them in if you prefer spicier salsa. Finely dice the jalapeño and add it to the mixture.

Pluck the leaves from the cilantro bunch, discarding the stems, and finely chop. Add the chopped cilantro to the bowl.

Step 6

Peel and mince the garlic clove, then stir it into the salsa mixture.

Step 7

Juice both limes into the bowl, being careful to catch any seeds.

Step 8

Add the salt and black pepper to the mixture and stir everything together until well combined.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice to achieve your preferred flavor balance.

Step 10

Let the salsa sit for at least 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
