Ingredients

  • 6 fresh tomatoes diced
  • 1 red bell pepper finely diced
  • 1 carrot cut into small cubes
  • 1 small onion finely diced
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • 3-4 jalapeño peppers finely chopped
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro 16 g, roughly chopped
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp cayenne

Instructions

  • Prepare all of your fresh ingredients by washing and chopping them finely, then add them all into a large bowl.
  • Season with lime juice, salt, cumin, and some cayenne, then mix well. Adjust to taste, then cover your bowl and put it in the fridge for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend.
  • Serve as a healthy dip with tortillas, in tacos, or use it to dress up your plant-based bowl!
  • Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days. When using canned instead of fresh tomatoes, it keeps well for longer and can even be frozen!

Notes

  • Add garlic and hot sauce to your salsa for more flavor!
  • To make a saucier tomato salsa, add canned tomatoes alongside your fresh salsa to a food processor and pulse until broken down.
