Steps:

- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your salsa will taste. If you can, use tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions that are in season.
- Don't over-chop the ingredients: You want the salsa to have a chunky texture, so don't chop the ingredients too finely.
- Add some heat: If you like spicy salsa, add a jalapeño pepper or some cayenne pepper to the recipe.
- Let the salsa rest: After you make the salsa, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
