Prep Time 15 minutes
Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 5 ripe roma tomato
  • ¼ red onion
  • 1 serrano pepper deseeded and chopped
  • 3 cilantro stem with leafs
  • 2 lime juiced
  • 1 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  • Wash the tomato with mild soup and rinse. Also give the onion, Serrano pepper, and cilantro a good rinse under running tap water. Dry with towel or paper towel.
  • Cut the tomato and serrano pepper in half and take out the seed.
  • Chop the tomato and Serrano pepper into ¼" pieces
  • Finely chop cilantro and red onion.
  • In a mixing bowl, put everything together: tomato, onion, Serrano pepper, cilantro, lime and sea salt together. Toss to make sure everything is well coated with lime juice. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • If you're not ready to serve right away, chop everything in a bowl and place it in the fridge. When you're ready to serve, just add the lime juice and salt.
  • Serrano pepper too spicy? You can always replace it with jalapeño peppers to reduce the heat level.
