Description
A quick and fresh salsa made with ripe tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice, perfect for chips, tacos, and salads.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound vine-ripe tomatoes (diced, about 2 1/2 cups)
- 2/3 cup red onion (diced)
- 1-2 fresh jalapeños (deseeded and finely diced)
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 lime (juiced)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Tortilla chips (optional, to serve)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the vine-ripe tomatoes, red onion, jalapeños, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
- Taste and adjust the salt and pepper if needed.
- Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge for at least 20-30 minutes for the flavors to combine.
- Serve with tortilla chips, or over salads, tacos, and burrito bowls.
Notes
Mix gently so the tomatoes keep some texture. Tasting and adjusting salt is key. The chill time lets the juices and lime mellow the raw edge. If it seems watery, drain a bit before serving.
