Instructions

  • Dice tomato, onion, and jalapeño. I like to remove the seeds and wet insides of the tomato and deseed the jalapeño.
    Add everything to a bowl.
  • Roughly chop the cilantro and add it to the bowl
  • Squeeze over lime and season with salt. Stir.
  • Store in the fridge for 30 minutes for the flavors to mingle or serve immediately.

Notes

Makes about one cup of fresh salsa.
To take some of the bite from the onion: dice it and then soak it in cold water for 5 minutes.
Keep the jalapeño seeds in for spice.
Keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days. The ingredients will release their own juices over time.
Use an extra Roma tomato if needed - the onion and tomato should be about the same amounts.
