  • Add some heat to your salsa: If you like spicy salsa, add some chopped jalapeño pepper or serrano pepper. You can also add some ground cumin or chili powder.
  • Balance the flavors: Be sure to taste your salsa as you make it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more lime juice, salt, or sugar to balance the flavors.
  • Chill your salsa before serving: This will help the flavors to meld together and will make the salsa more refreshing.
