1 1/2 pounds (680g) ripe tomatoes, cut into 1/4- to 1/2-inch dice (about 3 cups); consider de-seeding first

Kosher salt

1/2 large white onion, finely diced (about 3/4 cup)

1 to 2 serrano or jalapeño chiles, finely diced (seeds and membranes removed for a milder salsa)

1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves

1 tablespoon (15ml) lime juice from 1 lime(others say 1-4T!)

(Also optional 2minced garlic cloves)
