Equipment

Cutting board
Sharp knife
mixing bowl
Spoon or spatula

Ingredients

1/2 cup plum tomatoes small diced
1/4 cup yellow onion small diced
1 orange segmented, diced (reserve juices)
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped
1 serrano chili minced (stem and seeds removed)
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, orange segments (along with any reserved juices), cilantro, and serrano chili.
Add the lime juice and kosher salt.
Gently mix until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Cover and refrigerate for about 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir lightly before serving and enjoy.

Notes

For a milder salsa, substitute the serrano with jalapeño or reduce the amount used.
Be sure to remove as much pith as possible from the orange to avoid bitterness.
Best served fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Great paired with grilled seafood, chicken, or tortilla chips.
