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!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1 jalapeño pepper , seeded and finely chopped - or more to taste
  • 2 limes , juiced
  • 2.5 cups Roma , plum
  • 0.5 cups chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix red onion, jalapeño pepper, and lime juice in a bowl. Allow to stand for 5 minutes. Mix in tomatoes, cilantro, and salt; allow to stand 15 more minutes for flavors to blend.
