Fresh and Zesty Tomato Salsa

1. Dice the Tomatoes:

• Start by washing the tomatoes thoroughly. Cut them into medium-sized dice and place them in a large mixing bowl. The tomatoes provide the base for your salsa, contributing both flavor and texture.

1. Chop the Red Onion:

• Finely chop one large red onion and add it to the bowl with the diced tomatoes. The red onion adds a sharp, slightly sweet flavor that balances the acidity of the tomatoes.

1. Mince the Jalapeños:

• Mince the jalapeño peppers finely. If you prefer a milder salsa, remove the seeds before mincing. For extra heat, leave the seeds in. Add the minced jalapeños to the bowl with the tomatoes and onions.

Step 2: Add Fresh Cilantro

4. Chop the Cilantro:

• Finely chop one cup of fresh cilantro. Sprinkle it over the chopped ingredients in the bowl. Cilantro adds a distinctive, herbaceous flavor that is essential to traditional salsa.

Step 3: Add Lime Juice and Season

5. Juice the Limes:

• Squeeze the juice of two limes over the mixture in the bowl. The lime juice adds a refreshing citrusy tang that brightens the flavors of the salsa.

5. Season with Salt:

• Season the salsa with salt to taste. Start with a small amount and add more as needed. Salt enhances the flavors of the fresh ingredients.

5. Optional Garlic:

• If desired, add minced garlic to the salsa for an extra layer of flavor. Garlic adds a subtle depth and a bit of pungency that complements the other ingredients.

Step 4: Mix and Serve
