Ingredients

• 6 medium Roma tomatoes
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 1 whole Jalapeño
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 0.5 cup Cilantro
• 1 whole Lime
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by thoroughly washing all fresh ingredients under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Dice the Roma tomatoes into small cubes, aiming for an even size to ensure a balanced texture in your salsa. Place the diced tomatoes into a mixing bowl.

Step 3

Finely chop the red onion, ensuring a consistent size so that the onion's flavor is evenly distributed throughout the salsa. Add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Step 4

Prepare the jalapeño by slicing it in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to remove the seeds and membranes if a milder salsa is desired. Finely dice the jalapeño and add it to the bowl.

Step 5

Mince the garlic cloves and add to the bowl. Ensure the garlic is chopped finely to evenly distribute its potent flavor.

Step 6

Coarsely chop the cilantro and add it to the mixture, stirring gently to combine.

Step 7

Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the salsa mixture. Use a fork or a citrus juicer to extract as much juice as possible.

Step 8

Season with salt and ground black pepper, starting with the listed quantities and adjusting to taste if necessary.

Step 9

Gently stir all ingredients together until they are well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 10

Let the salsa sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve fresh as a topping or accompaniment to any Whole30-prepared dishes.
