- Juice of 2 limes
- A few shakes of your favorite hot sauce
- ~1 teaspoon sea salt to taste (adjust as needed)

Instructions
- Add all prepped ingredients (tomato, onion, Anaheim pepper, cilantro, fresh-squeezed lime juice, hot sauce, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper) to a medium bowl, and toss to combine.
- Let sit for 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to come together, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Notes
You can swap heirloom or Roma tomatoes for cherry tomatoes—just dice them small. Red or white onion both work well. If you don’t have Anaheim pepper, use a mild green bell pepper or omit entirely for less heat. No cilantro? Try chopped green onion or flat-leaf parsley instead. Adjust lime juice and salt to taste. Add more hot sauce if you like it spicier!
