For a hot salsa, use jalapeños or habaneros. You can also use a combination of peppers to create your own unique flavor profile.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients: Salsa is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. Try adding fruits, vegetables, or herbs to your salsa to create a unique flavor. Some popular additions include mango, pineapple, avocado, cilantro, and cumin.
  • Taste your salsa as you make it: This is the best way to ensure that it's seasoned to your liking. Add more salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed.
