Servings 0

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds tomatoes chopped
  • ½ sweet onion chopped (about 2/3 cup)
  • 1 jalapeño pepper finely diced (seeds and membranes removed)
  • ½ cup cucumber chopped
  • ½ cup red bell pepper chopped (seeds and membranes removed)
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves finely chopped
  • 1 lime juice
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Get the ripest tomatoes you can find. Off season, cocktail tomatoes are probably the best.
  • Put all chopped vegetables in a bowl and squeeze lime juice on it. Toss and let sit for ½ hour or more. (Some people recommend draining off the liquid before serving.)
