• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Start by washing the tomatoes, green chili, parsley, and cilantro. Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel.

Finely dice the tomatoes and place them in a medium-sized bowl.

Pour the warm olive oil over the tomato mixture, stirring gently to combine.

Add the lemon juice, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 8

Taste to adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lemon juice if desired.

Step 9

Let the salsa sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
