Ingredients

  • 3 medium roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped finely
  • ⅓ medium white onion, chopped finely
  • ½ - 1 serrano pepper, seeded if desired and minced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • ¾ tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 small handful cilantro, half the stems removed and finely chopped

Method

  1. Finely chop all the ingredients (onion, tomato, cilantro, and serrano pepper) evenly so there is a good distribution of ingredients with every bite.
  2. Add the salt and lime juice and stir to combine. Let it sit for 15 – 30 minutes before serving so the ingredients have time to mingle.
  3. Enjoy!

Notes

No Waste: Save the stems from the cilantro and tie them together to let them simmer in rice or a broth for extra flavour and less waste! Save the tomato “guts” and use them in rice or freeze them for another day and add to a sauce.
