Description

This vibrant fresh tomato salsa is the perfect companion for tacos, enchiladas, or simply with crunchy tortilla chips. It combines ripe medium tomatoes with crisp green bell peppers, sharp green onions, and a generous amount of fresh cilantro. The flavor profile is bright and acidic from fresh lime juice, with a gentle kick from finely chopped jalapeño chiles. It is a quick, no-cook preparation that highlights the natural sweetness of the tomatoes and the herbal notes of the cilantro. Ideal for summer gatherings, casual weeknight dinners, or as a refreshing condiment for grilled meats and fish.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut tomatoes in half and remove seeds. Chop the tomato flesh into small, uniform pieces.
  2. Finely chop the green bell pepper, jalapeño chile (remove seeds for less heat), and garlic.
  3. Slice the green onions, including some of the green tops, into thin rounds.
  4. Snip the fresh cilantro leaves into small pieces.
  5. Combine the chopped tomatoes, green bell pepper, jalapeño, garlic, green onions, and cilantro in a large mixing bowl.
  6. Add the lime juice and salt to the bowl.
  7. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if desired.
  9. Serve immediately or chill for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Note

For a milder salsa, remove the seeds and white membranes from the jalapeño before chopping.

Let the salsa sit for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The salsa may release some liquid over time; stir before serving.

For a smokier flavor, add a pinch of cumin or use roasted jalapeños.
