1
Prepare the Vegetables
Wash the tomatoes under running water. Remove the stems and cut them into small dice. Place the diced tomatoes in a mixing bowl.
2
Chop the Onion
Peel the red onion and chop it finely. Add the chopped onion to the mixing bowl with the tomatoes.
3
Add Cilantro
Rinse the cilantro under water, shake off excess moisture, and chop it roughly. Add the chopped cilantro to the bowl.
4
Prepare the Jalapeño
Cut the jalapeño pepper in half, remove the seeds (if you prefer less heat), and chop it finely. Add to the bowl.
5
Juice the Limes
Cut the limes in half and squeeze out the juice. Remove any seeds and pour the juice over the ingredients in the bowl.
6
Add Garlic
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Add the minced garlic to the mixing bowl.
7
Season
Add salt and black pepper to taste. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
8
Chill and Serve
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the salsa chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
