Clean your hands well with soap and water after chopping up the vegetables to prevent getting the hot pepper into your eyes. The whole family will appreciatie the Salsa. Use immediately or refrigerate. There is nothing more yummy than home made salsa. You may never buy the pre-made salsa again.
After the ingredients have had time to mix, the salsa is even tastier. Milder salsa can be made by substituting sweet peppers for the jalapeño and chili peppers. Hotter salsa can be made by increasing the onions and peppers.
There is a complete serving of vegetables in 1/2 cup of salsa.
