How to Make Kickin Salsa

  1. Finely chop 1 red onion, 1 green bell pepper, and 2 jalapeños (remove seeds for less heat, leave some in for extra kick!).
  2. Roughly chop 4 cups of ripe tomatoes (or use 4 (15-ounce) cans of diced tomatoes, undrained).
  3. Combine the chopped vegetables in a large bowl.
  4. Add 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cumin.
  5. Gently toss all ingredients together until well combined.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lime juice, salt, jalapeño, or cumin to your preference.
  7. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it sits, the better it tastes!
