Notes
- For a consistent texture, aim to chop all ingredients in similar sizes. This ensures every scoop has a bit of everything. For more tips, check out my recipe of Pico de gallo
- If you're not a fan of too much heat, consider using half a jalapeno or remove the veins and seeds. For more heat, add more than one jalapeno. In short, adjust the level of spice according to your liking.
- No need to remove the seeds from the tomatoes.
- Resting time is crucial. It allows the flavors to meld, resulting in a more harmonious flavor profile. So, don't rush to eat the salsa as soon as you make it.
- Never serve the salsa cold. Let it reach room temperature first. Cold salsa has a flat flavor.
