Notes
- For a milder salsa, remove all seeds from the jalapeno; for more heat, include some seeds.
- Use fresh limes for the best citrus flavor; bottled lime juice can be a less flavorful substitute.
- This salsa is versatile and can be customized by adding ingredients like chopped tomatoes or avocado.
- Store in the fridge covered tightly to maintain freshness up to 5 days.
- Ensure fruits are diced finely for a better texture and ease of scooping with chips.
