Combine Ingredients:

In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped onion, jalapeños, and cilantro.

Add Lime Juice and Season:

Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle with salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients evenly.

Let It Marinate:

Allow the mixture to sit for about 10-15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together. This resting time helps the lime juice and salt draw out flavors from the tomatoes and onions, enhancing the overall taste.
