A vibrant and flavorful salsa that combines fresh ingredients for a delightful dip or topping.
Dice the ripe tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
Use a sharp knife to avoid squishing the tomatoes and to get clean cuts.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
Rinse the chopped onion under cold water to reduce its sharpness if desired.
Mince the fresh garlic and jalapeño, then add them to the bowl.
Remove the seeds from the jalapeño for a milder salsa.
Chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the mixture.
Use the cilantro stems as well for added flavor.
Squeeze the juice of the lime over the ingredients in the bowl.
Roll the lime on the counter before cutting to release more juice.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the mixture and season with salt, cumin, and black pepper.
Taste and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to combine.
Gently fold the ingredients to avoid mashing the tomatoes.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salsa for at least 2 hours before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together for a more cohesive taste.
Serve the salsa chilled with your favorite chips or as a topping for dishes.
Garnish with a sprig of cilantro for a fresh presentation.
