Instead of just plain chopped tomato, you can serve the Spiced Lentil Tacos with Fresh Salsa.

The jalapeno adds a kick to the Fresh Salsa. You can also serve fresh salsa with tortilla chips or as a condiment for grilled steak or shrimp.

Ingredients

• 2 medium tomatoes, roughly chopped (1 1/2 cups)
• 1 small white onion, diced small (2/3 cup)
• 1 jalapeno, minced
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• coarse salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
