Ingredients

• 4 medium ripe tomatoes
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 1 small jalapeño pepper
• 2 cloves garlic
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 whole lime
• 0.75 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon sugar

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing the tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime thoroughly.

Step 2

Dice the tomatoes into small, evenly sized pieces and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Remove the seeds and membrane of the jalapeño (if you prefer less heat). Finely mince the jalapeño and add it to the mixing bowl.

Step 5

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the mixture.

Step 6

Roughly chop the fresh cilantro leaves and measure out 1/4 cup. Add this to the bowl.

Step 7

Roll the lime on the countertop to release its juices, slice it in half, and squeeze the juice into the bowl. Be sure to catch any seeds.

Step 8

Sprinkle the salt, ground cumin, and sugar over the mixture.

Step 9

Gently fold all the ingredients together with a spatula or large spoon until well combined.

Step 10

Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño for desired flavor and heat.

Step 11

Let the salsa rest at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour if desired.

Step 12

Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or use as a topping for your favorite dishes!
