  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice of 1 lime, and a dash of sea salt and black pepper.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salsa in the large bowl and gently fold until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
  6. Serve with sturdy chips for dipping or over grilled chicken or fish.
