A vibrant and fresh salsa recipe perfect for any occasion.
Dice the ripe tomatoes into small chunks 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.
Soak the chopped onion in cold water for a few minutes to mellow its flavor.
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro and mix it into the bowl.
Remove the cilantro stems for a milder taste, or include them for added crunch.
Squeeze the juice of the fresh lime over the ingredients in the bowl.
Roll the lime on the counter before cutting to release more juice.
Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground pepper, then gently stir to combine.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed to suit your preference.
Serve the salsa fresca immediately or let it sit for a few minutes to enhance the flavors.
Serve with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
