This easy-to-make recipe requires just a few fresh ingredients and a bit of chopping, making it perfect for any occasion.

What You Need
To create this delightful salsa, gather the following ingredients

6 medium ripe tomatoes, diced
1 large red onion, finely chopped
2 fresh jalapeño peppers, minced (with or without seeds for desired heat)
1 cup finely chopped cilantro
Juice of 2 limes
Salt, to taste
Minced garlic, optional (for extra flavor)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
