Dice 1 cup of yellow onion and place in a bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the onions and mix well.

Let the onions sit for 5 to 10 minutes to tone down their flavor.

Rinse the onions in cold water and set aside.

Prepare boiling water and an ice bath for the tomatoes.

Cut slits in the tops of the tomatoes and dip them in boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds.

Once the skin starts to peel, transfer the tomatoes to the ice bath to stop cooking.

Peel the tomatoes and remove the core and seeds, then dice them into small pieces.

In a bowl, combine the rinsed onions, 2 cups of diced tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of banana pepper, 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Add half a teaspoon of salt and the juice of 1 lime to the mixture.

Grate 2 cloves of garlic using a microplane and mix it into the bowl.

Mix all ingredients well and let the mixture sit for a while to meld flavors.

Optionally, blend part of the mixture for a smoother texture, then serve with bread or empanadas.
