Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by dicing those Roma tomatoes. I like to use a sharp knife to get nice, clean cuts.

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
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
Now, finely mince the jalapeño. If you want a milder salsa, you can skip the seeds.
- 5
In a large bowl, combine all the chopped ingredients. Add the lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
- 6
Mix everything together gently, tasting as you go to adjust the seasoning if needed.
- 7
Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving. Enjoy!
