Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 medium tomato* (we use beefsteak but feel free to use 3–4 roma tomatoes)
- 1/3 cup red onion* (or use white)
- 1/2 small red hot thai chili pepper, deseeded (OR serrano pepper for a more traditional version!)
- 1 tsp of lime juice (more to taste)
- 1/2 cup of fresh cilantro leaves*
- salt & pepper to taste
*Fresh Ingredients you need that are not part of our pantry and freezer tips.
Instructions
- Dice the tomato, onion and deseeded hot pepper. Add them to a bowl.
- Splash on the lime juice, either fresh or from concentrate.
- Add the chopped cilantro leaves (use any remaining leaves and the stems for cilantro lime vinaigrette, chimichurri, OR add the stems to your veggie scrap bag for homemade veggie broth!)
- Then add salt and pepper to taste and stir well to combine.
- Leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. Although best served fresh as the tomatoes will let out more water as they sit. Try it on our Seaside “Fish” Taco Bowl!
Notes
Approximate Cost: CAD $1.65 with lime juice from concentrate and $2.41 using a fresh lime vs. approximately $5.49 for the equivalent store-bought salsa.
