Notes

Note on jalapeño: this creates how spicy it is. If you like mild salsa, be sure to clean out the ribs and seeds and discard them. If you're unsure how much jalapeño (or the seeds) to use, start with a smaller amount then taste the finished product and add more as desired. Want it spicy? Add more!
Want a chunky salsa? Use a food processor and chop each ingredient separately. Pulse it slowly each time so you don't over chop it - then mix in a bowl.
