Ingredients

2 large plum tomatoes, de-seeded, chopped

¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves and stems

2 Tbsp fresh lime juice

2–3 Tbsp fresh orange juice

Notes

Notes from Rachel: I prefer jalapeño chiles in the salsa because I don’t love a ring of fire the day after. Jalapeños still make the lips nice and tingly, so plenty hot for me. Substitute habanero, or Anaheim or sweet pepper if you prefer.
