Notes
Fresh Tomato Substitution: If fresh tomatoes are not in-season or you do not have access to them, you can use canned tomatoes in this recipe. About half to 2/3 of a can should be enough for this recipe. Note that this substitution will alter the final carb content and nutrition information.
Fresh Lime Juice Substitution: If you’d like to swap in store-bought lime juice for fresh lime juice, I recommend starting with 1 1/2 tablespoons of lime juice and going from there, depending on taste. Additionally, you can sub in fresh or store-bought lemon juice for lime juice at a 1:1 ratio.
To Lessen Or Eliminate The Spiciness: Decrease or altogether omit the chili to yield a mild salsa. Note that this substitution will alter the final carb content and nutrition information.
Storage: Store salsa in the refrigerator in an airtight glass jar or container for up to 4 days.
