Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Ingredients

  • 2 cups ripe tomatoes, diced
  • 1 jalapeño, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 1/2 cup white onions, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Additional Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prep the Vegetables
    Wash and dice the ripe tomatoes into small, bite-sized pieces. Remove excess seeds if you prefer a less watery salsa. Finely chop the white onions, jalapeños (remove seeds for milder heat), and cilantro.
  2. Step 2: Combine Ingredients
    Place all the chopped ingredients into a mixing bowl. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture. Add a splash of vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) and season with salt to taste.
  3. Step 3: Mix and Adjust
    Gently stir all ingredients until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed. For extra heat, add more finely chopped jalapeño or a dash of cayenne pepper.
  4. Step 4: Rest and Marinate
    Let the salsa rest for 15 to 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully. Serve immediately or chilled.

Notes

  • Use ripe tomatoes for the best flavor.

  • Dice all ingredients uniformly for even flavor distribution.
  • Always use freshly squeezed lime juice.
  • Drain excess tomato liquid if the salsa feels too watery.
  • Add cilantro according to preference due to its strong flavor.
