Chop the Ingredients
Start by washing the tomatoes under cold water. Remove the stems and dice them into small pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
2
Dice the Onion
Peel the red onion and chop it finely. Add the diced onion to the bowl with the tomatoes.
3
Prepare the Cilantro
Rinse the cilantro under cold water, pat it dry with a paper towel, and chop it coarsely. Add it to the mixing bowl.
4
Slice the Jalapeño
Cut the jalapeño in half, remove the seeds (if you want less heat), and finely chop it. Add it to the bowl.
5
Add Lime Juice
Pour the lime juice over the chopped ingredients in the bowl.

6
Season the Salsa
Sprinkle salt and ground black pepper over the mixture in the bowl.
7
Mix Well
Using a large spoon or spatula, mix all the ingredients together thoroughly until well combined.

Serve Fresh
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, grilled meats, or salads.
