Ingredients

• 3 medium-size Roma tomatoes
• 1/2 medium-size red onion
• 1/4 cup cilantro or parsley leaves
• 1 tablespoon orange juice
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Using a small knife, halve each tomato. Cut away the stem area, then cut the two halves in half. Over the sink or a small bowl, squeeze the tomato pieces as you would a sponge to force out the seeds and water. Use a knife or hand-powered food chopper (see Kid-Friendly Kitchen Gear) to dice the tomatoes. Transfer the fruit to a medium-size bowl.

2. Dice the red onion and add it to the bowl. Finely chop the cilantro or parsley and add it to the bowl as well. Note: If you’re using a food chopper, the onion and herbs can be chopped together.

3. Stir in the orange juice, sugar, and salt and combine them well. Cover and refrigerate the salsa for 1 hour to allow the flavors to mingle. Makes 2-1/2 cups.
