Description
Jamie Oliver’s Jalapeño Salsa is a vibrant, fresh salsa made with jalapeños, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and lime juice. It’s a versatile topping or dip that adds a burst of flavor and heat to a variety of dishes.
Ingredients
-
- 2 fresh jalapeño peppers (seeds removed for less heat, if desired)
-
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes (chopped)
-
- 1 small red onion (finely chopped)
-
- 1 small bunch of fresh cilantro (chopped)
-
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
-
- Juice of 2 limes
-
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
-
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Start by finely chopping the jalapeño peppers, making sure to remove the seeds if you want a milder salsa. Chop the tomatoes, finely dice the red onion, and mince the garlic. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped jalapeños, tomatoes, red onion, garlic, and chopped cilantro.
Pour the freshly squeezed lime juice and olive oil over the chopped vegetables. Stir everything together to combine well.
Season the salsa with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
For the best flavor, let the salsa sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. You can also refrigerate it for up to an hour before serving if you prefer it chilled.
Serve the jalapeño salsa with tortilla chips, as a topping for tacos or grilled meats, or as a fresh accompaniment to any Mexican-inspired dish.
