A vibrant and zesty salsa fresca perfect for any occasion.
Dice the ripe tomatoes into small cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.
Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts and maintain the tomato's texture.
Finely chop the jalapeño pepper and green onions, then add them to the bowl.
Remove the seeds from the jalapeño if you prefer a milder salsa.
Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and add them to the mixture.
Use only the leaves for a more delicate flavor.
Drizzle the olive oil over the ingredients and squeeze the juice of the lime into the bowl.
Roll the lime on the counter before juicing to extract more juice.
Season with salt and black pepper, then mix everything together gently.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Serve the salsa fresca immediately or let it sit for a few minutes to enhance the flavors.
Pair with tortilla chips or use as a topping for your favorite dishes.
