Notes

    • Chop ingredients uniformly: Cut your vegetables into similarly sized pieces.
    • Remove tomato seeds: Scoop out tomato seeds to prevent sogginess.
    • Adjust spice level: Remove jalapeño seeds to keep the spice level mild, or use a poblano pepper instead.
    • Choose fresh and ripe ingredients: Select fresh and ripe tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and jalapeños for the best flavor.
    • Let it marinate: Refrigerate your salsa for 24 hours to blend flavors.
    • Use lemon or lime: Either fruit can be used for acidity. Consider mixing them for extra complexity.
    • Add lime zest: For an extra burst of flavor and color!
