Ingredients
- 10 roma tomatoes*
- 1 red onion
- 2 jalapeños diced*
- 1 cup chopped cilantro
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice depending on preference
- ½ - 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Core the tomatoes and chop finely (discarding the core). I like to use this veggie chopper for both the onion and tomatoes!
- Finely dice the onion and add to a bowl with the chopped tomatoes.
- Add in the chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt and diced jalapeños. Dice the jalapenos as finely as possible, if you like spice, include some seeds, otherwise discard them.
- Mix together until combined. Let sit for about 10 minutes to let the flavors blend, then taste and add more salt or lime juice as desired.
Notes
I like using roma tomatoes for this recipe since they're less watery but really any variety of tomato will work. You want them pretty red and ripe, but not totally mushy since we'll be adding lots of other liquid from lime to the recipe.
Serrano pepper works in place of jalapeño if that's all you have.
Once prepared, this recipe will keep in the fridge for about 5 days.
