Notes
Use as a dip, topping, or marinade for meat.
Let the salsa cool before serving. As the salsa comes to room temperature it will thicken slightly. Also, giving it time to rest enhances the flavors as they blend together.
Don't like spicy salsa? No problem. If you don't want spicy salsa, remove the seeds and the rinds from your jalapeno.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for 7-10 days in the fridge. It's not recommended to freeze green salsa because it contains some fresh ingredients which won't retain their texture when frozen.
