Wash all produce thoroughly under cold water.

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

Step 4

Chop the fresh cilantro leaves, discarding large stems, and mix it into the bowl.

For a bit of heat, finely dice the jalapeño pepper. Remove seeds and membranes for a milder flavor, or leave them in for spicier salsa. Add the diced jalapeño to the bowl.
