Notes
- I used fresh tomatoes, you can use canned ones for bright red colour.
- If using raw jalapeños, deseed and add to avoid excess heat and spice.
- I added lemon juice since I did not have lime.
- Do not add water while pulsing as it will make the salsa runny. Tomatoes and lime juice are enough to make the salsa in the right consistency
- Do not store the salsa for a long time as the colour and taste might change.
