A vibrant and fresh salsa recipe 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 preserve the tomato's texture.
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 jalapeño, removing seeds for less heat, and add it to the bowl.
Wear gloves when handling jalapeños to avoid irritation.
Chop the fresh cilantro and mix it into the bowl.
Use only the leaves for a milder flavor, or include stems for added texture.
Squeeze the juice of the fresh lime over the mixture and sprinkle with sea salt.
Roll the lime on the counter before cutting to release more juice.
Stir all ingredients together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Let the salsa sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve immediately as a dip with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
Garnish with a sprig of cilantro for a fresh presentation.
