Scale
Ingredients:
- 5 ripe Roma tomatoes (chopped)
- 1/2 medium red onion (chopped)
- 1–2 jalapeños (seeded for less heat, finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
- juice of 1 lime

- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, red onion, jalapeños, garlic, and cilantro.

- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Let the salsa sit for at least 15–30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to develop.
Add the lime juice, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
