There’s just something magical about chopping fresh veggies and seeing them come together in such a colorful mix.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Start by dicing those Roma tomatoes. I like to use a sharp knife to get nice, clean cuts.

  2. 2

    Next, finely chop the red onion. If you're sensitive to the onion's bite, a quick soak in cold water can help mellow it out.

  3. 3

    Chop the cilantro and add it to your mixing bowl. I love the fresh flavor it brings—it's like summer in a dish!

  4. 4

    Now, finely mince the jalapeño. If you want a milder salsa, you can skip the seeds.

  5. 5

    In a large bowl, combine all the chopped ingredients. Add the lime juice, salt, and black pepper.

  6. 6

    Mix everything together gently, tasting as you go to adjust the seasoning if needed.

  7. 7

    Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving. Enjoy!
