Instructions

1
Prep Vegetables (5 mins)
- Finely chop the white onion and jalapeño. For less heat, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño.
- Mince the garlic cloves and roughly chop the fresh cilantro.
2
Combine Ingredients (5 mins)
- In a medium bowl, crumble the queso fresco using a fork or your hands.
- Add the chopped onion, jalapeño, garlic, and cilantro to the bowl.
3
Dress and Mix (3 mins)
- Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and fresh lime juice over the ingredients.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Gently stir everything together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain the crumbly texture of the cheese.
4
Chill and Serve (2 mins + 30 mins chilling)
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This step is crucial for allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Serve chilled with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks.
