• tomato: Chop 4 medium-ripe tomatoes. Roma tomatoes, plum tomatoes, or vine-ripened tomatoes can be used. It’s okay if you only have cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes.
• onion: Finely chop the white onion until it’s half a cup. Red onions are also fine.
• Hot pepper: Use jalapeno peppers to keep it mild, or choose serrano peppers if you want to make a super spicy salsa. Remove the seeds and finely chop 1-2 bell peppers, depending on your salsa spiciness preference.
• coriander: Chop the coriander leaves, not the stalks. If you really don’t like cilantro, you can omit the cilantro and replace it with chives.
• Lime juice: I like the rye flavor to be strong, but feel free to adjust the flavor to your liking.

• Optional materials: I love adding fresh garlic and a little bell pepper. You can add jalapeno peppers if you like it spicy.
