Tips:
- For an extra kick of heat, add a finely diced jalapeno pepper to the salsa.
- Customize the consistency by adjusting the chopping technique; for a chunkier salsa, chop the ingredients coarsely, and for a smoother texture, finely dice everything.
- This salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, though it’s best enjoyed fresh.
- Experiment with different herbs and spices to tailor the flavor to your liking. Try adding a pinch of chili powder or smoked paprika for a smoky twist.
- Don’t skimp on the lime juice; it not only adds flavor but also helps to preserve the salsa and keep it fresh for longer.
- Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. Add more salt, lime juice, or spices as needed.
