Ingredients

• 4 Roma tomatoes
• 1 Small onion
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 1 Jalapeño pepper
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the Roma tomatoes, onion, jalapeño pepper, and fresh cilantro to ensure they are clean.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Peel and finely chop the onion, then add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the jalapeño pepper, removing the seeds for less heat if desired. Add them to the mixing bowl.

Step 5

Chop the fresh cilantro and stir it into the mixture for a burst of herby flavor.

Step 6

Squeeze fresh lime juice over the salsa mixture and sprinkle in the salt. Add the ground cumin if you'd like a hint of earthiness.

Step 7

Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined. Taste and adjust the salt or lime juice as needed.

Step 8

Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, nachos, or grilled meats. For even better flavor, let the salsa sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
