Begin by washing the tomatoes, then core them and roughly chop into small pieces. Place the chopped tomatoes into a medium-sized bowl.

Step 2

Finely dice half of a medium red onion and add it to the tomatoes.

Chop fresh cilantro and measure out 0.25 cup, then add to the mixing bowl.

Step 6

Add 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice to the tomato mixture to enhance the flavors.

Step 7

Pour 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil into the mixture to add richness.

Step 8

Season with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Gently mix all ingredients together until well combined, ensuring the tomatoes and other vegetables are evenly coated with lime juice and olive oil.

Step 10

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 11

After chilling, stir the dip once more and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve chilled with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
