Ingredients
- 4 ripe tomatoes, chopped
- 1 small red or yellow onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 jalapeño, chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients: Start by washing your tomatoes and cilantro. Finely chop the onion, jalapeño (removing seeds if you’d like milder heat), and garlic.
- Blend: In a blender or food processor, combine the tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and garlic. Pulse until you reach a texture that feels just right—smooth but still with a bit of body.
- Season: Once blended, pour the mixture into a bowl, and add freshly squeezed lime juice and salt. Mix well, tasting to adjust seasoning if needed.
- Chill: For the best flavor, let your salsa chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Serve: Serve in a bowl with chips, or use it as a topping for your favorite dishes.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor, and don’t rush the chilling process to allow flavors to meld.
