A vibrant and easy-to-make salsa that pairs perfectly with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
Chop the ripe tomatoes into quarters.
Use a sharp knife to avoid squishing the tomatoes and losing their juice.
Peel and finely dice the onion.
Rinse the onion under cold water after dicing to reduce its sharpness.
Mince the garlic clove and jalapeño.
Remove the seeds from the jalapeño if you prefer a milder salsa.
Combine the tomatoes, onion, garlic, jalapeño, and cilantro in a blender.
Pulse the blender to control the texture of the salsa.
Add the lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the blender and blend until desired consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Transfer the salsa to a mixing bowl and let it sit for 10 minutes before serving.
Allowing the salsa to rest enhances the flavor as the ingredients meld together.
Serve the salsa with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
Garnish with a sprig of cilantro for a fresh presentation.
