Fresh and easy, this recipe yields about 5 cups of salsa. Reserve 1 cup for Quick Guacamole and still have enough to serve 8. If you like spicy salsa, use the full amount of jalapenos and add more cayenne pepper.
Make Ahead Tip
Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
This salsa is excellent. The only thing that I do different is squeeze 3 limes into it and it gives it an awesomee flavor. I eat it on my tacos in place of lettuce and tomatoes...The kids ove it too.

I like this recipe. I use kosher salt in mine and increase it to one teaspoon. I also prefer it with a bit less cilantro, but that\'s just a personal preference. It\'s also great if you add one half of a red or yellow bell pepper chopped.

This is pretty close to the pico de gallo recipe I\'ve been using for years except I don\'t bother with vinegar or any acids. I did want to point out, though, that there is a segment of the population for whom cilantro tastes like soap, so use sparingly or not at all unless you know for sure that everyone likes it.

I make a homemeade salsa very much like this, except that I use serrano peppers because I like it extra spicy. I also use some lemon juice and diced garlic, or at least the juice from the garlic.
