Method

Wash the produce

Rinse the Roma Tomatoes, Serrano Chile, and Cilantro under cool running water, then pat them completely dry.

Dice everything

Trim the stem ends from the tomatoes, cut them in half, and scoop out the seeds if they are especially juicy. Peel the White Onion, trim off the ends, and finely dice it. Slice the serrano lengthwise, remove the seeds and pale ribs for a milder salsa, and mince it very finely. Chop the cilantro leaves and tender stems, keeping the pieces small and even so every spoonful tastes balanced.

Mix and rest

Add the chopped tomatoes, onion, chile, and cilantro to a bowl. Pour in the Lime Juice, sprinkle over the Sea Salt, and toss gently with a spoon until everything is evenly coated. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes so the salt draws out a little tomato juice and the flavors meld, then give it one more gentle stir.
