great with guacamole and tortilla chips

Quarter the cherry tomatoes and cut into small cubes. Season with salt and let them drain in a colander for 10 minutes. In a bowl, toss the drained tomatoes with the onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice. Season to taste with salt and a little more lime juice, if desired. Let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Serve with guacamole and tortilla chips. This recipe uses cherry tomatoes because I find they are the most flavorful when grown outside of your own garden. However, tomatoes from your own garden are always preferable!
