Begin by dicing 4 ripe tomatoes into small pieces and placing them in a medium bowl. Finely chop a small red onion and add it to the bowl. Mince half a jalapeño pepper and mix it in.

Chop 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro coarsely. Toss the chopped cilantro into the bowl with the tomato mixture.

Squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the salsa mixture, mixing gently to coat the ingredients.

Sprinkle in salt and freshly cracked black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Gently fold all ingredients together until combined while maintaining the chunky texture.

Cover the bowl and let the salsa sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.

Present your fresh salsa in a serving bowl and enjoy with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos or grilled meats.
