Wash the ripe tomatoes thoroughly, then core and dice them into small pieces. Place the diced tomatoes in a large mixing bowl.

Chop the red onion finely to make about 1/2 cup and add it to the tomatoes in the bowl.

Chop the cilantro leaves to make about 1/2 cup of loosely packed cilantro, then add it to the bowl with the other ingredients.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic, lime juice, ground black pepper, and cumin to the bowl.

Step 6

Gently mix all the ingredients together with a spoon until well combined.

Step 7

Taste the salsa and adjust the lime juice or seasonings if needed, to suit your preference.
