Fresh Tomato Salsa
Ingredients
- 1 pound tomatoes (you can use any varieties or combinations that look good), cored, seeded and diced
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ medium onion (preferably sweet onion), finely diced
- ½ jalapeño , seeded and diced (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 lime
Instructions
- Toss the diced tomatoes with the salt and place in a colander to drain for 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, rinse the diced onions in cold water (this helps to take away their bite) and drain well.
- Combine the tomatoes with the rest of the ingredients except lime and season with freshly ground black pepper. Squeeze in the juice from ½ of the lime. Taste and add additional lime juice, if desired. Do Ahead: The salsa can be made up to 2 hours in advance and left at room temperature.
