Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse in 1-second bursts until all ingredients are finely chopped.
  2. Serve with tortilla chips. Note that salsa always tastes best after it's been refrigerated for a few hours, so if time allows let the flavors marinate together before serving.
  3. Store in refrigerator up to 1 week.

Notes

This salsa is a staple for a reason! It's incredibly versatile and can be adjusted to your spice preference. For a spicier salsa, leave some of the seeds in the jalapeno. For a milder version, remove all seeds and membranes. Enjoy!
