Notes

  • Storage: Salsa will keep in the refrigerator for 5 days.
  • With canned tomatoes: If fresh tomatoes aren't available, substitute one can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes, drained well.
  • Add avocado: If desired, make this salsa with avocado. Add 1 or 2 diced avocados right before serving. Keep in mind it might not store as long as in the fridge without the avocado browning.
