Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Roughly chop tomatoes, bell pepper, and red onion into 1-inch chunks.

  2. Step 2

    Add vegetables to a food processor. Pulse until coarsely chopped—texture should be chunky, not smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Transfer to a bowl. Stir in lemon juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Taste and adjust heat or lemon. Let sit 2 minutes for flavors to marry.

  5. Step 5

    Serve with warm pita chips and a drizzle of olive oil on top.
