Notes

  • Roma tomatoes work well because they are firm and less watery.
  • Remove some tomato seeds to reduce excess liquid.
  • For extra flavor, add a small clove of minced garlic.
  • Diced avocado, mango, or cucumber can be mixed in for variations.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and stir before serving.
