Notes
✘ You can decide how smooth or chunky you want the salsa. Any way to chop them works, so pick what texture you prefer. Me? I’m a chunky salsa kind of gal, so I just give it a couple of quick whirls.✘ If you like it spicier, feel free to add more jalapeño or keep the seeds in.✘ Short on time? Sometimes I pop the jalapeno, onions, and cilantro in the food processor and let it do ALL the work.✘ The waiting is the hardest, but most important part! Be sure to wait for a few hours before diving in to let the flavors develop.
