Fresh Vegan Tomato Salsa (Zesty, Chunky & No-Cook)

Bright, bold, and full of flavor, this fresh tomato salsa (pico de gallo) is a must-have for dipping, topping, and adding a burst of freshness to your meals. Made with juicy Roma tomatoes, onion, lime juice, cilantro, and just the right amount of heat, it’s a quick and easy recipe that comes together in minutes. Plus, tomatoes are packed with vitamin C and lycopene — making this delicious snack good for your body as well as your taste buds!

Ingredients

5–6 Roma Tomatoes, finely chopped

1/2 Red Onion, (or White Onion), finely chopped

1 Jalapeño (or Serrano Pepper), finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)

1/4 cup Fresh Cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 Lime

Salt to taste

Optional: 1 Garlic Clove, minced

This salsa is freshness in a bowl—juicy tomato, crunchy onion, zingy lime, and fresh cilantro pop with every bite. I make it often when tomatoes are at peak and serve it with tortilla chips

or spoon it over bowls and tacos. It’s bright, easy, and full of texture.

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, onion, pepper, cilantro, and garlic (if using).

Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mix and add salt to taste.

Stir well and let it sit for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Serve with tortilla chips, on tacos, or over rice bowls!
