1
Prepare the Ingredients
Start by rinsing the ripe tomatoes under cold water. Remove the stems and cut them into small, dice-sized pieces.
2
Chop the Onion
Peel the red onion and cut it in half. Chop one half finely and set aside. Save the other half for another use.
3
Chop the Jalapeño
Cut the jalapeño pepper in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds (if you prefer less heat) and finely chop the pepper.
4
Chop the Cilantro
Rinse the fresh cilantro under cold water and shake off excess water. Chop it coarsely.
5
Combine Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, chopped jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.
6
Season the Salsa
Add lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir everything together until well combined.
7
Taste and Adjust
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño based on your preference.
8
Chill and Serve
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the salsa chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving for the flavors to meld together.
