Base Ingredients
- 4 ripe tomatoes, finely diced
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1–2 jalapeños, finely diced (adjust for spice preference)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (natural)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Finely dice the tomatoes, onions, and jalapeños. Mince the garlic cloves and roughly chop the fresh cilantro. Squeeze fresh lime juice to keep all flavors bright and lively.
- Mix the Base: In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, and garlic. Stir in the fresh cilantro, then add olive oil (natural) along with sea salt to taste. Mix well to combine all the flavors evenly.
- Adjust Flavor and Texture: Taste your Salsa and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more lime juice for acidity, additional salt to enhance flavors, or extra jalapeños to increase the heat level.
- Let it Rest: For the best flavor, refrigerate the Salsa for at least 30 minutes to allow the ingredients to meld together, creating a harmonious and vibrant taste.
Notes
- Use ripe ingredients to ensure the freshest and most vibrant taste.
- Chop ingredients uniformly for a balanced texture and consistent flavor.
- Control the heat by removing jalapeño seeds for a milder Salsa.
- Always use fresh lime juice (natural) for brightness over bottled alternatives.
- Refrigerate before serving to enhance flavor melding and refresh the palate.
