For a milder salsa, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño pepper. For extra heat, leave some seeds in. Roma tomatoes are recommended for their firm texture and lower water content, which helps prevent the salsa from becoming too watery. If using other types of tomatoes, consider draining off some of the excess liquid. Freshly squeezed lime juice is essential for the best flavor. Bottled lime juice can have a slightly different taste profile. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño to suit your preferences. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or as a fresh topping for grilled meats, fish, or tacos. Salsa Fresca is best enjoyed the day it is made.
