For a milder salsa, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeno and serrano peppers before dicing. For a spicier salsa, leave some of the seeds in. If you don't have fresh limes, bottled lime juice can be used, but fresh is highly recommended for the best flavor. Feel free to experiment with other herbs, such as oregano or parsley, to add your own unique twist. This salsa is best served fresh, but it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Consider grilling the tomatoes and peppers for a smoky flavor.
