Ingredients

• 4 medium Roma tomatoes
• 1 small red onion
• 1 medium jalapeño pepper
• 0.5 cup cilantro
• 1 medium lime
• 2 cloves garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the Roma tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño pepper, and cilantro under cold running water.

Step 2

Dice the Roma tomatoes into small, evenly sized pieces and transfer to a medium mixing bowl.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Remove the stem and seeds from the jalapeño pepper for a milder salsa (leave the seeds in if you prefer it spicier). Finely dice the pepper and add it to the bowl.

Step 5

Roughly chop the cilantro leaves (discard the stems) and add them to the mixture.

Step 6

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, then stir them into the bowl.

Step 7

Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice from both halves over the salsa mixture to add brightness and acidity.

Step 8

Sprinkle in the salt and ground cumin, then drizzle with olive oil for a hint of richness.

Step 9

Gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Taste and adjust salt if necessary.

Step 10

Let the salsa sit for 5–10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, or serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite dishes!
