Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop the Vegetables

    Start by dicing the tomatoes into small pieces. Aim for uniform sizes for even mixing.

  2. 2

    Dice the Onion

    Peel and finely chop the red onion. This will add sweetness and crunch to your salsa.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Jalapeño

    Remove the stem and seeds from the jalapeño pepper (or leave some seeds for extra heat). Dice it finely.

  4. 4

    Chop the Cilantro

    Rinse the cilantro under cold water, pat dry, and chop it coarsely.

Mixing

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

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

  2. 6

    Add Lime Juice

    Pour the lime juice over the mixture and stir well to combine all the ingredients.

  3. 7

    Season the Salsa

    Add salt and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.

Serving

  1. 8

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the salsa and let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos.
