This is a simple salsa with a bright acidity, one that you could temper with some diced mango if you like. I’ve called for a half of a jalapeño but you could use an entire one if you like.

Adjust the ingredients to your liking but just keep all the flavors in balance – sweet, salty, sour and fiery. It’s terrific on pork and with grilled fish, on shrimp tacos or as an accompaniment to breakfast eggs.
