This is a great salsa recipe. It's very HOT and has strong flavors of onion and garlic. Unlike a lot of salsa recipes, this one isn't sweet. The key ingredient is white vinegar, which really makes the flavors pop. I hope you like it as much as I do - Enjoy

  • Add JalapeƱos to blender based on your preferences to the following - Leave seeds in for some good heat. Remove them to make a milder salsa. JalapeƱos can vary widely on their heat. The ones that are solid green are more mild, while the ones with the white striations up the sides are the hottest.
  • Cilantro - grab the leafy end of the cilantro and pull off the thicker stems at the bottom. Add leafy part of cilantro to blender.
