1 cup finely chopped white onion (about 1 small onion)

1 medium jalapeño or serrano pepper, ribs and seeds removed, finely chopped

¼ cup lime juice

¾ teaspoon fine sea salt, more to taste

1 ½ pounds ripe red tomatoes, chopped

½ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions:

 

In a medium bowl, mix the onion, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt. Let it marinate for 5 minutes while you prepare the tomatoes and cilantro.

Add the tomatoes and cilantro to the bowl, stirring to combine. Adjust salt to taste.

Allow the mixture to marinate for 15 minutes or refrigerate for several hours for the flavors to fully develop.

Serve with a slotted spoon to prevent excess juice from making dishes soggy.
