Ingredients
  

  • 1 Red Onion finely diced
  • 2 Roma Tomatoes, finely diced
  • ½ Green Bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1 Jalapeno chili*
  • 1 TBPS Lime juice
  • 1 TBPS EVOO
  • 2 Cilantro sprigs fresh or 1 tsp dried cilantro
  • ½ tsp Sea Salt
  • ½ tsp Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Mix the red onion, tomatoes, bell pepper, jalapeno chili, lime juice, EVOO, sea salt and pepper. Mix well. Taste and add salt as needed.
  • This is a fresh salsa so it won't last very long. Fortunately I find it delicioius and eat it straight from the bowl!

Notes

*This is a very spicy salsa, even with the substitution of a green pepper for a jalapeno. You can substitute the jalapeno for a less hot chili, such as a Poblano. Or eliminate them all together and use a whole bell pepper.
