    Bright, colorful, juicy heirloom tomatoes are one of my favorite summertime treats! They are the perfect base for this flavorful salsa, all you need is a little onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and freshly squeezed lime juice. Serve alongside your favorite Mexican dishes or as an appetizer with crunchy tortilla chips.

    Ingredients You’ll Need:

    Heirloom Tomatoes come in a variety of different colors; red, yellow, orange, green, and purple. Choose tomatoes that are blemish-free and are soft to the touch but still a bit firm.
    Onion: Red or yellow works!
    Cilantro: I love cilantro, but you can omit it if you don’t like it.
    Jalapeño: Add as much or as little jalapeño as you like. If you like your salsa extra spicy leave in the seeds.
    Lime: Citrusy, tart lime juice brings all the flavors together!
