Fresh Tomato Salsa - ATK

By norsegal8

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs. firm, ripe tomatoes cut into 3/8-inch dice
• 1 large jalapeno chili, seeded and minced
• 1/2 cup red onion
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• pinch of black pepper
• 2 - 6 tsp. lime juice

Preparation

Step 1

Set a large colander in a large bowl. Place tomatoes in the colander and let drain for 30 minutes. As tomatoes drain, layer jalapeno, onion, garlic and cilantro on top. Shake the colander to drain off excess tomato juice. Discard the juice and wipe out the bowl.

Transfer the contents of the colander to the now-empty bowl. Add the salt, pepper and 2 tsp. lime juice. Taste and add additional lime juice to taste.
