Restaurant-style Salsa Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Start by washing all fresh produce. Remove the stems from the Roma tomatoes, jalapeño pepper, and cilantro. Peel the red onion and garlic cloves.

2. 2

   Chop the Vegetables

   Dice the Roma tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño pepper into small pieces. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds from the jalapeño before dicing.

3. 3

   Mince the Garlic

   Finely mince the garlic cloves. You can use a garlic press for easier mincing or chop them with a knife.

4. 4

   Combine Ingredients

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

5. 5

   Add Lime Juice and Seasoning

   Pour the lime juice over the mixture, then sprinkle in the salt and ground cumin. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.

6. 6

   Let it Rest

   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and let the salsa sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

7. 7

   Serve

   After resting, give the salsa a quick stir and taste. Adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed. Serve with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
