Ingredients

4 medium ripe tomatoes (about 1 lb.), cored, seeded, and finely diced
1/4 red onion, finely chopped
2 jalapeño or serrano chiles, cored, seeded, and finely chopped
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
1 Tbs. fresh lime juice
1 clove garlic, smashed and minced
3/4 tsp. salt, or to taste
Pinch freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl. Toss well and serve.

Roasted tomatillo and green chile:Arrange 1 lb. tomatillos (husks removed), 1 fresh poblano, 2 jalapeños, and 4 scallions on a foil-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Broil until softened and dark in spots, about 12 minutes, turning once during cooking. When cool, remove the skin, stems, and seeds from the chiles. Dice all the vegetables and combine with 1/2 minced small onion, 1 minced clove garlic, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste.

Tropical fruit:Dice and combine 1 large mango, 1 large papaya, and 2 small kiwis. Add 1 cup diced pineapple, 1/3 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup diced red onion, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves, 1 to 2 cored, seeded, and minced jalapeños, 1 Tbs. lime juice, and a pinch each of salt and cayenne.

Grilled corn, tomato, and chipotle:Rub 2 ears of husked corn with olive oil and grill over medium-hot coals until slightly blackened, about 10 minutes. Grill 5 plum tomatoes until the skins are blistered and charred, about 8 minutes. Scrape the kernels from the cobs and dice the tomatoes. Combine the corn and tomatoes with 1/4 cup very finely diced red onion, 1 finely chopped canned chipotle chile, 2 Tbs. lime juice, 1 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil, 1 Tbs. finely chopped fresh oregano (or 2 tsp. dried), and salt to taste.
