Fresh Tomato Salsa
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds plum tomatoes (6 to 8), cored, halved, and seeded
1/2 medium red onion, minced (1/2 cup)
1 jalapeño or serrano chile (ribs and seeds removed for less heat, if desired), minced
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1 lime)
Coarse salt
Preparation
Chop the tomatoes into 1/4-inch pieces; transfer to a medium bowl. Add the onion, chile, garlic, cilantro, and lime juice; season generously with salt. Mix to combine. Let stand 15 minutes to develop flavor. Salsa can be kept at room temperature up to 2 hours. To store, transfer to an airtight container, and refrigerate up to 3 days.
