Note

For best flavor, allow the salsa to rest for at least 10-15 minutes before serving so the lime juice can soften the raw onion bite.

If you prefer a milder taste, remove the seeds and membranes from the tomatoes before chopping.

This dish is best served fresh. If you need to prepare it ahead, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but note that the texture may become softer.

You can add a pinch of cumin or a dash of hot sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
