Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Roman tomatoes, diced into small chunks
  • 1 small jalapeno, seeded and minced
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons minced onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for taste
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Instructions

  1. Dice the tomatoes and transfer to a colander. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt and let sit 15 to 20 minutes to draw out excess water.

  2. While the tomatoes drain, mince the jalapeño and onion.

  3. Move the drained tomatoes to a bowl and add the jalapeño and onion.

  4. Stir in the red wine vinegar until well combined. Taste and add more salt if needed.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.

  • If you prefer not to salt and drain, seed the tomatoes to reduce excess liquid.

  • This recipe is written without cilantro. If you enjoy it, you can stir in a little at the end.

  • For a traditional flavor, use lime juice instead of vinegar, or a mix of both.
