How to Make Tomato Salsa Salsa Cruda

  1. Roughly chop the tomatoes and place them in a large colander set over a large bowl.
  2. Let the tomatoes drain for at least 30 minutes to remove excess moisture.
  3. While the tomatoes drain, finely chop the red onion, mince the jalapeño (removing seeds for less heat), and mince the garlic. Chop the cilantro.
  4. Gently shake the colander to help drain any remaining tomato juice.
  5. Discard the collected tomato juice.
  6. Transfer the drained tomatoes to a clean, large bowl.
  7. Add the minced jalapeño, red onion, garlic, and cilantro to the bowl.
  8. Stir in the salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of lime juice.
  9. Gently toss to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  10. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional lime juice, salt, pepper, and sugar (if using) to your preference.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy! Your fresh, flavorful salsa cruda is ready.
