For a milder salsa, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeno pepper before mincing. If you prefer a smoother salsa, you can pulse the ingredients in a food processor a few times, being careful not to over-process. This salsa is best served cold. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Consider adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice for extra tang. Serve with tortilla chips, grilled fish, or tacos.
