Ingredients

Scale

Produce

  • 6 medium roma tomatoes (about 20 ounces), seeded and diced
  • 1 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 large or 2 small jalapeños, seeded and finely diced
  • 3 to 4 ripe but semi-firm avocados, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • ½ cup cilantro leaves, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)

Pantry

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt (more to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Rinse Onion: Rinse 1 cup of finely chopped red onion in a fine mesh sieve under cool water. Drain well to reduce sharpness and bitterness.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the seeded and diced roma tomatoes, the drained red onion, the diced jalapeños, and the diced avocados.
  3. Whisk Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined to create the dressing.
  4. Toss Salsa: Pour the dressing over the avocado mixture, add the chopped cilantro leaves, and gently toss everything together to evenly coat all ingredients with the dressing without mashing the avocados.
  5. Serve: Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a fresh topping for your favorite dishes.

Notes

  • Be gentle when mixing to keep avocado chunks intact for better texture.
  • Use ripe but firm avocados to avoid overly mushy salsa.
  • Adjust jalapeño quantity based on desired spice level.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest flavors and avoid avocado browning.
  • Can be refrigerated for up to 1 day; cover tightly to minimize oxidation.
