Squeeze the lime juice over everything and sprinkle in the salt. Toss everything together really well and as you’re tossing, add the chopped cilantro. Serve with corn tortilla chips for dipping, or serve alongside a main dish as a condiment (it’s perfect with any kind of soft tacos, fajitas, or even on salad with grilled meat or fish)! The salsa is best when it’s served fresh, but if you have leftovers or want to chill it before serving, I suggest storing it in a mason jar.

I'm planning on making this recipe on the weekend for my sister's birthday barbecue to pair with burgers. I think I'll serve it as a salad/side though so that we have lots of variety to our spread. Thanks for the idea!
