For the best flavor, use high-quality canned diced tomatoes. San Marzano tomatoes are an excellent choice. Don't be shy with the cilantro! It's the key to that fresh, vibrant flavor. If you prefer a spicier salsa, add finely diced jalapeño or serrano pepper to taste. Remove the seeds and membranes for less heat. This salsa is best served chilled with tortilla chips, grilled meats, or as a topping for tacos and salads. The salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
