Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother salsa dip, blend the ingredients longer in your gourmet chopper. If you're looking for a milder flavor, consider removing the seeds from the jalapeño pepper. You can substitute fresh parsley with cilantro for a different taste or add bell peppers for extra crunch. For a smoky flavor, try adding a bit of smoked paprika. This salsa is perfect for pairing with Cecilia'S Flour Tortilla.
