Ingredients

• 3 medium (chopped) Tomatoes
• 0.5 medium (finely diced) Red onion
• 1 small (seeded and finely chopped) Jalapeño
• 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) Lime juice
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin

Directions

Step 1

Wash the tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and fresh cilantro thoroughly.

Step 2

Dice the tomatoes into small, even pieces, ensuring a consistent texture for the salsa.

Step 3

Finely chop the red onion, being careful to achieve an even dice so the flavors distribute evenly.

Step 4

Slice the jalapeño in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, and finely chop. For extra spice, retain some seeds.

Step 5

Roughly chop the fresh cilantro, removing any large stems for a smooth texture.

Step 6

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.

Step 7

Add the freshly squeezed lime juice, salt, black pepper, and ground cumin to the vegetable mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure the flavors are fully mixed.

Step 8

Gently fold in the plain Greek yogurt, being careful not to crush the vegetables. The yogurt will add creaminess without overpowering the salsa's freshness.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more lime juice, salt, or pepper to suit your preference.

Step 10

Chill the salsa in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 11

Serve with tortilla chips, grilled meats, or as a topping for your favorite tacos.
