Notes

Note 1 - White onions are traditional.

Note 2 - Use Serrano peppers or 2 tbsp of Jalapeños if you like things spicy!

Note 3 - Key limes are traditionally used in Mexico. If you only have access to a regular lime, only use the juice from 1/2 the lime.

Note 4 - Make sure to consider what you're using the salsa on. Chips are usually pretty salty, so you don't need to add as much.
