My ex's mom had the best hand-chopped salsa fresca I have ever tasted. Over the years, I have tweaked her recipe to something my friends and family rave about. The trick for this salsa is marinating the onions and jalapeños in lime juice for about 5 minutes before adding the tomatoes and cilantro. Hope you enjoy!

- 1 jalapeño pepper , seeded and finely chopped - or more to taste
- 2 limes , juiced
