Chef’s notes:
- Use any kind of onions or hot peppers you like.
- For an extra kick, add a third jalapeño or a serrano pepper.
- When in season, use 3 medium or 2 large fresh tomatoes in place of canned.
- Use juice from half a lime in place of cider vinegar if you like.
- Try serving this salsa as a dip with homemade tortilla chips, as a topping on baked potatoes or tacos, or as a sauce for grilled meats and fish.
- Make a bigger batch and freeze.
