Ingredients

  • 4 medium tomatoes seeds removed and finely diced
  • 1 small onion finely diced
  • 1 small cucumber center seeds removed and finely diced
  • A handful of fresh cilantro finely chopped
  • 1 habanero pepper seeds removed and finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice plus more to taste
  • Hot sauce to taste
  • ½ teaspoon salt plus more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon sugar plus more to taste

Instructions

  1. Remove the seeds and watery center from the tomatoes, then finely dice into small, even pieces.
  2. Slice the cucumber lengthwise, scoop out the soft seeded center to keep the salsa from turning watery, then finely dice.
  3. Finely dice the onion, chop the cilantro, and mince the habanero. Remove the habanero seeds for a milder salsa.
  4. Add the tomatoes, onion, cucumber, cilantro, and habanero to a bowl. Pour in the lemon juice, then season with hot sauce, salt, and sugar.
  5. Mix everything together until evenly combined. Let the salsa sit for at least 2 hours before serving so the flavors have time to blend. Enjoy with chips.
