Salsa:

We suggest you make a jar (mason jars work great) in advance and use for a few days. There is no exact recipe, but we will list the ingredients we use. If you like heat, add more jalapeno, or leave it off totally.

• 2 medium tomatoes, seeded and finely diced
• 1 jalapeno, finely chopped (remove the seeds to keep the heat down)
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 1 TBSP lime juice
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions

Directions:

1. Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.
2. Season to taste with additional chile and lime juice.

This salsa keeps in the refrigerator for a few days. Drain any excess liquid from the salsa before using.
