Remove seeds from one large pomegranate, ensuring no bits of white pith are attached. You should have about 1.5 cups of seeds.
Finely dice half of a medium red onion, yielding about 1/2 cup.
Chop about a quarter cup of fresh cilantro leaves, lightly packed.
Remove the seeds and finely chop one jalapeño pepper for a medium heat level. Adjust to taste by using more or less pepper.
In a bowl, combine the pomegranate seeds, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and jalapeño pepper.
Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the salsa and gently toss all ingredients together.
Let the salsa sit for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve fresh with tortilla chips or as a topping for meats, or refrigerate for up to 2 days.
