Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe tomatoes, diced
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño pepper, minced (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: 1 teaspoon honey or sugar for a touch of sweetness
- Chips for serving (tortilla or potato chips)
Instructions
- Start by dicing the ripe tomatoes and finely chopping the red onion. Mince the jalapeño and garlic to infuse the salsa with a bold, fresh flavor. Chop the cilantro and squeeze the lime juice to add a citrusy punch.
- In a large bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, minced jalapeño, and garlic. Stir well to blend all the flavors together.
- Add the chopped cilantro, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. For a little bit of sweetness that balances the heat, mix in a teaspoon of honey or sugar. Adjust seasonings to taste.
- Cover the salsa and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld, making your Chandler salsa even more delicious and sarcastically satisfying.
Notes
- For a milder salsa, reduce the amount of jalapeño or remove seeds to lessen the heat.
- You can prepare this salsa several hours ahead to allow flavors to develop fully.
- Stir before serving if any separation occurs, and consider adding a splash of lime juice for extra brightness.
