Sizzling salsa straight from the garden! This recipe for a classic pico de gallo-style salsa is sure to tantalize your taste buds with its vibrant flavors. Made with an abundance of juicy, fresh tomatoes, this homemade concoction packs quite the punch thanks in large part to the bold zing provided by pressed garlic and tangy lime juice.

This delightful condiment pairs perfectly as a sidekick to any Mexican dish you might be serving up for dinner tonight! And let's not forget about pairing it with some crunchy homemade tortilla chips - heaven on earth, folks!

Here are all of the ingredients needed:

- 1 pound plum Roma tomatoes

- Half medium white onion

- Serrano chiles or small jalapeños (to taste)

- Clove garlic (optional), pressed

- Sprigs cilantro fresh

- Tablespoon lime juice

Now that we've got our ingredient list down pat, let's dive right into the fun part - making this mouthwatering salsa!

1. Begin by carefully washing and drying all of your produce under running water to remove any dirt or debris.

2. Next up: Remove the skin from each tomato using a sharp knife or vegetable peeler if needed.

3. Finely dice these babies along with the onion, chilies (seeded), garlic cloves (if using) until you're left with small uniform pieces.

4. In a large bowl combine all of your prepared ingredients together - tomatoes, onions, peppers & herbs etcetera.

5. Squeeze over 1 tablespoonfuls worth of freshly squeezed lime juice throughout while gently folding everything together as one cohesive mass rather than mashing down too hard which would release more liquid from the vegetables.

6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or additional chili flakes if desired before covering tightly & refrigerating for at least thirty minutes to allow all those flavors to meld magic together - voila! Your very own homemade salsa is now ready when you are!

Enjoy your delicious, fresh-tasting salsa straight outta your kitchen tonight!
