Notes
1. If you are sensitive to spice, start by adding one pepper and adjust according to your taste.
2. It’ll be warm when it’s right out of the blender, and it’s definitely still tasty at that point, but when it chills in the fridge for a bit, I like it even better. The light tangy, vibrant flavor seems to pop a little more when served cool.
3. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
4. Variation: To make this salsa creamy, add half avocado while blending the mixture.
