Ingredients:

  • 6 medium Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced (approx. 1.5 lbs)
  • 1/2 cup white onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1-2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and minced
  • 2 tbsp lime juice, freshly squeezed
  • 3/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions:

  1. Dice Roma tomatoes into consistent 1/4-inch cubes, discarding seed pods and excess liquid to prevent a watery consistency.
  2. Finely mince the white onion and jalapeño peppers.
  3. Combine the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and minced garlic in a medium mixing bowl.
  4. Sprinkle the sea salt and ground cumin evenly over the vegetable mixture.
  5. Pour in the lime juice and gently fold in the chopped cilantro using a stirring motion to avoid crushing the herbs.
  6. Allow the salsa to sit at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld and create a natural brine.
