Comments
Every ingredient is a staple at every major Charlotte grocer—Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, Walmart, and ALDI all stock these year-round—so no special trips. At roughly $0.50–$0.75 per serving (a tomato, quarter onion, half a jalapeño, pinch of cilantro, lime juice), this is genuinely cheap. The stated 10 minutes is honest for dicing and combining if you own a sharp knife, though a food processor cuts it to 5. It reheats poorly, so this is a same-meal condiment, but that's fine for a salsa—it's meant to be fresh, it serves 4 as a side, and it demands no attention once assembled.
