1. Combine Ingredients
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, minced garlic, finely diced onion, and chopped cilantro. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and squeeze the juice of half a lime over the mixture.
2. Mix and Rest
Gently stir the ingredients together using a spoon to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed. Let the salsa sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Opt for the ripest, freshest tomatoes. Roma tomatoes are great for less seeds and juice. Seed your tomatoes to prevent a watery salsa.
Let salsa sit for at least 30 minutes for flavors to meld. Cover and refrigerate but don't let it sit too long to maintain vegetable texture.
With few ingredients in salsa, the quality of each is paramount. Select high-quality onions and fresh cilantro for a better outcome.
Dice your ingredients evenly for balanced flavor and texture. Take the time to dice everything finely, especially onions and jalapeños.
Aim for a balance of sour lime juice, spicy jalapeño, sweet tomato, and crunchy onion to create a great salsa.
