1
Prepare the Vegetables
Wash and dice the tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño pepper. Remove the seeds from the jalapeño for less heat, if desired.
2
Chop Cilantro
Finely chop the cilantro leaves and discard the stems.

3
Combine Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, chopped cilantro, and lime juice.
4
Season the Salsa
Add salt, black pepper, and cumin to the mixture, and stir well to combine all ingredients.

5
Taste and Adjust
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño for more heat.
6
Chill and Serve
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the salsa chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
