Pro Tips for the Best Salsa

🌿 Use ripe tomatoes – They should be juicy and sweet for the best flavor.
🌶️ Control the heat – Remove jalapeño seeds for mild salsa; keep them for extra spice.
🍋 Fresh lime juice is key – Bottled lime juice lacks brightness.
⏳ Let it sit – Resting enhances the flavors.
🧂 Taste & adjust – Need more salt? More lime? Adjust to your liking!
