• Combine all ingredients into a bowl and mix well
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour in order to blend all flavors

HINTS: Lazy Day Salsa: If you are feeling a little lazy and don't want to chop all the ingredients, put them all into a food processor and blend. Although you can use parsley instead of cilantro, you won't get the distinct flavor of the salsa. For a more divine salsa, try using smoked jalapeno chilies instead.
