Instructions

Dice the tomatoes and onion, and chop the cilantro. Add them to a medium bowl.
Finely dice the jalapeño, removing some or all seeds if you prefer less heat, and add to the bowl.
Peel and crush the garlic (or finely mince). Add to the other ingredients.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld.
