Ingredients:
4 cups ripe tomato, diced or about 3 large tomatos
1-1/2 cups yellow onion, diced or 1 medium to large onion
1/4 cup fresh-squeezed lime juice, about one lime’s worth
3/4 packed cup cilantro leaves, chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1 small jalepeno pepper, finely diced
Directions:
1. Combine tomato, onion, lime juice, cilantro and salt in bowl.
2. Allow to sit for a couple of minutes then taste. Now is the time to add more salt or lime if you like. If you do this taste test after adding the jalepeno, it will be more difficult to discern.
3. Add jalepeno pepper. This can be tricky as the heat of the jalepeno can range from bell pepper mild to eye-watering hot. Best to start small. Add some to the salsa, give it a good stir and then taste. Too mild? Add more, stir and taste. Repeat till satisfied.
Notes:
Do not use sweet onion!
If you like extra mild salsa, just omit the jalepeno.
Keeps in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Good on eggs, refried beans, steak and just about anything you can imagine.

My five year old eats this with a spoon. I guess chips just get in her way…
