Notes

  1. You can also use Roma or Plum tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes.
  2. Use a small onion if you do not have green onions.
  3. Not a fan of cilantro? Replace it with fresh parsley. Add less quantity than mentioned in the recipe, as parsley has a stronger flavor than cilantro.
  4. Skip jalapeno if you don't want any heat in the salsa.
