Cooking Tips

• For a milder salsa, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapenos before blending.
• If you prefer a spicier salsa, add additional jalapenos or a hotter pepper, such as serrano or habanero.
• You can also customize the salsa by adding ingredients like garlic, cumin, or diced mango for a fruity twist.

Storage and Serving

• Store any leftover salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• Before serving, let the salsa come to room temperature to enhance the flavors.
• Stir the salsa well before serving to redistribute the ingredients.
