Note
For a milder salsa, remove the seeds and white membranes from the jalapeños completely. For extra heat, leave some seeds in or use serrano peppers.
This salsa tastes best when served fresh. If preparing ahead, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The flavors will meld over time, but the texture may soften.
If the tomatoes are very juicy, drain excess liquid before serving to prevent the salsa from becoming watery.
