Ingredients Needed
- 4 ripe tomatoes, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped cilantro for garnish
Preparation Steps
Start by heating the olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, cooking until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the chopped rosemary and cook for another minute to release its aroma.
In a bowl, combine the diced tomatoes with the sautéed garlic, onion, and rosemary mixture. Add lime juice, salt, and pepper, then stir well to blend all flavors. For a smoother salsa, you can pulse the mixture briefly in a food processor.
Let the salsa sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired before serving.
