Ingredients

• 4 medium Roma tomatoes
• 1 medium Jalapeño peppers
• 0.5 small Red onion
• 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 whole Lime
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing the Roma tomatoes, jalapeño, and cilantro under cold running water. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 2

Chop the Roma tomatoes into small dice. You can choose to remove the seeds if you prefer a less watery salsa.

Step 3

Prepare the jalapeño by slicing it in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and membrane for milder heat, then finely dice the jalapeño.

Step 4

Peel and finely chop the red onion so that the pieces are approximately the same size for even flavor distribution.

Step 5

Roughly chop the cilantro leaves, discarding the stems.

Step 6

Mince the garlic cloves finely to release their flavor evenly in the salsa.

Step 7

Juice the lime by rolling it on your counter to soften, cutting it in half, and squeezing out all the juice into a small bowl.

Step 8

In a large bowl, combine all the prepared ingredients: diced tomatoes, jalapeño, red onion, cilantro, and minced garlic.

Step 9

Add the fresh lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Drizzle with olive oil for added flavor and richness.

Step 10

Stir everything together gently until all ingredients are well mixed and coated with lime juice and olive oil.

Step 11

Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt or lime juice to balance the flavors.

Step 12

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled for the best results.
