Prep Bowl
Mason Jar
- 3/4 lb tomatoes fully ripe but still firm, about 6 small–medium sized tomatoes
- 1 cucumber cored to remove seeds
- 1 small white onion
- 2 jalapenos or 1 serrano seeds and ribs removed
- 1/2 cup cilantro chopped
- 2 tbls lime juice
Dice the tomatoes, cucumber, and onion all the same size. Small dice is good for salsa (1/4in pieces). To remove the sulphuric taste and smell of raw onions, rinse in cold water after dicing. If really strong, soak the diced onion in cold water, then drain before adding to the jar. Dice the jalapenos or serrano into 1/8in pieces.
Place the chopped ingredients in a mixing bowl, add the chopped cilantro and lime juice and stir all the ingredients together. Or, for one less bowl, place all the ingredients in a mason jar, put the lid on and roll the jar until all the ingredients are combined.
Store in the refrigerator until ready to use. It will keep for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
