Ingredients
– 1 pound Roma tomatoes
– 1/2 medium white onion
– 1 jalapeno pepper seeded and finely minced
– 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
– 2 tablespoons lime juice
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1-First, dice the tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, and cilantro into small, even pieces for a consistent texture. I find that uniform chopping helps the flavors blend better, and it’s a fun way to get kids involved in the kitchen.
2-Next, toss all the chopped items into a bowl and stir in the lime juice, salt, and pepper to bring it all together.
3-After mixing, let the salsa sit for a bit to let the tastes meld, then serve it up. This step really makes a difference, as chilling it enhances the flavors even more.
