This is what salsa should taste like: bright, fresh, and alive with flavor.

Roma tomatoes bring meaty texture without excess moisture, while lime juice adds the citrusy punch that makes everything pop.

The jalapeño heat is adjustable (more seeds means more fire), and the whole thing comes together faster than you can open a jar.

Serve with tortilla chips, pile onto tacos, or spoon over grilled chicken.

Chef Tips

  • Seed the tomatoes to prevent watery salsa that pools on the plate
  • Dice ingredients by hand rather than using a food processor for better texture
  • Make this a few hours ahead so flavors can marry in the fridge
  • Double the recipe because it disappears fast
