Notes
Best when fresh. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-5 days.
Tips:
- Use fresh lime juice rather than lime juice in a bottle. The flavor difference is worth it; plus, the bottle has preservatives.
- Season to taste. After following our recipe, we recommend tasting a small amount in a bowl by adding a pinch of salt. The same goes for the lime juice. You may prefer a little more salt or lime juice.
- Brunoise Dice the tomatoes. The easiest way to dice the tomatoes small is by using a vegetable chopper.
- Marinate in the fridge for up to 15 minutes. This allows for more of a complex flavor as the salt will draw out the water and release the juice from the fresh tomatoes.
