Prepare the Tomatoes: Wash the tomatoes thoroughly: Dice them into small, even pieces. If they are especially juicy, gently remove some of the seeds before dicing.

Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

Chop the Vegetables: Mince the jalapeños and garlic.

Add everything to the bowl with the tomatoes.

Season the Salsa: Add the lime juice, olive oil if using, salt, cumin, and black pepper.

Stir gently until all the ingredients are evenly combined.

Taste and Adjust: Add more lime juice for extra brightness, more salt to enhance the tomatoes, or additional minced jalapeño for more heat.

Chill: The tomatoes will release some juice, and the flavors will blend together.

Serve chilled or at cool room temperature with tortilla chips, tacos, burritos, grilled chicken, steak, fish, or scrambled eggs.
