Ingredients
– 3 ripe tomatoes, diced
– 1/2 white onion, diced
– 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
– 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. – In a large bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Stir to mix well.
2. – Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lime juice for acidity, jalapeño for heat, or salt and pepper to balance the flavors.
3. – Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
Notes
For a milder salsa, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño before chopping. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can pulse the salsa in a food processor or blender a few times. Experiment with different combinations of tomatoes, such as a mix of red and yellow or heirloom varieties, for added depth of flavor.
