Comments
Every ingredient is a supermarket staple at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, Walmart, and ALDI across Charlotte. At roughly $6–8 for six servings, the cost per serving lands around $1–1.25, driven only by tomato pricing which shifts seasonally. The stated 10 minutes is honest if you have a sharp knife; dicing tomatoes and onions takes that long for most home cooks. This is a fresh, no-cook side that reheats poorly (it gets watery), so it's best eaten same-night as a salsa or topping, but that fits the casual use case perfectly and feeds a crowd without fuss or attention.
