Ingredients
Salsa Fresca
| 5 – Tomatoes (medium) |
| 2 – Jalapeños |
| 2 – Cloves garlic |
| ¼ – Red onion (medium) |
| 3 tablespoons – Lime juice (fresh) |
| ½ teaspoon – Salt |
| ¼ teaspoon – Black pepper |

Salsa Fresca Directions
- Wash the vegetables. Cut the tomatoes into 1/2-inch pieces and put into a medium bowl. Because they can burn the skin, an adult should seed and mince the jalapenos and add them to the tomatoes.
- Peel the garlic and mince. Peel the onion and cut into 1/4-inch pieces. Add the onion and garlic to the tomato mixture.
- Stir in the lime juice, salt and pepper. Chop the cilantro and stir only until combined.
