To de-seed the tomatoes, slice in half, then use two fingers to pull the seeds and any liquid out, then chop very finely.
Toss the tomatoes, onions and jalapenos together in a medium bowl.
Add the cilantro and salt, then toss again.
Squeeze a lime over the salsa, tossing it as you squeeze - coating it well with lime juice.
Cover tightly in plastic wrap and store in the fridge, preferably for at least a few hours before using - shake it up every once and awhile.
