Ingredients
  • 8 medium garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1/2 medium white onion, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon dried Mexican oregano (I used regular oregano, which worked fine)

  • 1 large garlic clove, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons chopped white onion
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cups diced seeded tomatoes (I used cherry tomatoes, which work great in winter)
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
  • Heaping 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, or more to taste
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh serrano or jalapeño chiles (including seeds), or more to taste
