Prep Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 large tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 onion, minced
  • serrano pepper, seeds removed and minced (use ¼ cup minced bell pepper for mild salsa)
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 Tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Wash hands with soap and water.
  2. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Serve right away.
  3. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.

Notes

  • No serrano pepper? Use a jalapeño pepper or other spicy pepper.
  • Chop the leaves and stems of cilantro; all parts are flavorful.
  • The spiciness of peppers can vary based on the growing conditions. Peppers usually have a higher level of heat during hot summer months.
