Ingredients & Substitutions
I always go for Roma tomatoes because they have that nice balance of sweetness and acidity. If you want to kick it up a notch, try adding a bit of diced mango or pineapple for a sweet twist! You can also swap the jalapeño for a milder pepper if you’re sensitive to heat.
Tips & Notes
- •I keep mine in a glass jar in the fridge—they stay fresh for a week, and I love seeing the colors through the jar!
- •If you want a chunkier salsa, just cut the ingredients into larger pieces.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add diced avocado for a creamy texture—just be sure to eat it the same day to prevent browning.
- •If I have leftover roasted vegetables, I’ll toss them in for a smoky, unique flavor.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. It should last about 5-7 days, but trust me, it rarely lasts that long in my house!
