Note
For a milder salsa, remove the seeds and white ribs from the jalapeño before chopping.
This salsa is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The texture may soften as it sits.
Feel free to add a pinch of cumin or a dash of hot sauce for extra depth and heat.
Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor and texture. Roma tomatoes work well if you prefer a less watery salsa.
