This chunky salsa relies on hand-chopped vegetables rather than a food processor, giving it a hearty, rustic texture that clings to tortilla chips. A short rest in the refrigerator lets the flavors of lime, cilantro, and jalapeño meld before serving. It works well as a party appetizer or a topping for tacos and grilled meats.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes, cored and diced
  • 1/2 cup white onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste

Method

  1. Dice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch pieces and place in a medium mixing bowl.

  2. Add the chopped onion, minced jalapeño, garlic, and cilantro to the bowl with the tomatoes.

  3. Stir in the lime juice, cumin, salt, black pepper, and tomato paste until evenly combined.

  4. Taste and adjust salt, lime juice, or jalapeño to preference.

  5. Cover and refrigerate to let the flavors meld before serving.
