Ingredients

3 roma tomatoes chopped
¼ to ½ a large white onion chopped
1 serrano pepper, chopped finely (for a milder version, remove the seeds & veins, OR use 1 jalapeño instead)
1 small bunch of cilantro chopped
1 lime juice
1 tsp. kosher salt

Instructions

Mix all the ingredients together and serve fresh. You can also refrigerate for 30 mins. before serving.
This allows the juices from the tomato to release and combine with the other ingredients. Refrigerate any leftovers in a sealed container.
