Note

For a spicier kick, add finely diced jalapeño or serrano pepper. Remove seeds for less heat.

Fresh cilantro can be added for extra freshness; try 2-3 tablespoons of chopped leaves.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The salsa will soften slightly as it sits.

This salsa is excellent with grilled mahi-mahi, tilapia, or shrimp. It also works well on black bean burgers or as a topping for guacamole.
