Description
The bold, bright flavors of a simple fresh salsa. With an easy to remember hint of how to make the perfect balance of ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sweet onion, diced (or red onion) (1 cup)
- 1 jalapeño, finely diced (2–3 tablespoons)
- 1/2 bunch cilantro, minced (1/2 cup)
- Zest of 1 lime
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1–1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 6–8 Roma tomatoes, diced (1–1/2 – 2 cups)
Instructions
- Peel and dice onion, dice jalapeño (or seed and remove membrane before mincing to reduce the heat of the salsa). Wash and remove the long stems from the cilantro, then mince.
- Zest and then juice the lime and add to the onion, jalapeño and cilantro mixture. Add salt and pepper and stir to combine.
- Dice 6 of the Roma tomatoes and stir into the salsa. (The mixture should have the color balance of the Mexican flag, with red, white, and green all clearly visible.) Add the remaining tomatoes as needed for the spiciness you desire.
- Let flavors mingle for 5 minutes and serve.
Notes
If using beefteak tomatoes instead of roma tomatoes, remove the seeds or the salsa will be too watery.
