Ingredients
6 large Roma tomatoes, diced into half-inch cubes
1 cup white onion, finely diced
2 jalapeño peppers, stemmed and seeded
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
3 tbsp fresh lime juice
2 cloves garlic, minced into a paste
1 tsp sea salt
Instructions
Prepare the vegetables by dicing the Roma tomatoes and white onion into uniform half-inch pieces.
De-stem and remove the seeds from the jalapeños, then mince them finely.
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro leaves to release their oils without bruising.
In a large glass mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeños, and cilantro.
Add the minced garlic, fresh lime juice, and sea salt to the bowl.
Toss all ingredients gently until well combined, ensuring the salt is evenly distributed.
Allow the salsa to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
Notes
For best results, use a sharp serrated knife to dice the tomatoes cleanly. Adjust the number of jalapeños based on your preferred heat level. Store any leftovers in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The salsa is best served chilled or at room temperature.
