Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound tomatoes, cored and finely diced
- 1/2 red onion, finely diced
- 2 jalapeno peppers, finely diced (seeds removed for less heat)
- 1/4 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or to taste)
- 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the finely diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeno peppers, and chopped cilantro. Mix them gently to combine evenly.
- Add Citrus and Sweeteners: Pour in the lime juice, lemon juice, and optional maple syrup. Stir everything together thoroughly to blend the flavors.
- Season to Taste: Add salt gradually, tasting as you go, until the desired seasoning is achieved.
- Rest or Serve: You can serve the salsa immediately for a fresh, crisp flavor, or refrigerate it for a few hours to let the flavors meld and develop more depth.
Notes
- For less heat, remove the jalapeno seeds before dicing.
- Maple syrup is optional, but it balances the acidity and adds a subtle sweetness.
- If you prefer a chunkier salsa, dice the tomatoes and onions less finely.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
