Notes

Tips

  • Chop ingredients into similar-sized pieces so they blend evenly.
  • Adjust jalapeño seeds to control the heat—remove for mild, keep some for extra spice.
  • Let the salsa chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to deepen the flavor.
Storage & Make Ahead
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5–7 days.
  • Freezing is not recommended, as the texture becomes watery.
  • Can be made a day ahead; flavors improve as it rests.
