- 1/4 medium white onion, peeled

- 1/2 fresh lime, juiced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Add onion, jalapeno, and garlic to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 5-6 times, or until the bits are your desired size. Remove the cover and scrape down the insides of the bowl.
- Add remaining ingredients, cover, and pulse 1 or 2 more times, to combine.
- Transfer salsa to a serving dish and serve immediately or transfer to a pint-sized mason jar and store in the refrigerator. It becomes even more flavorful the next day.

Notes
- Salsa keeps fresh in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
- MILD SALSA: remove the veins and seeds from the jalapeno
- UTTERLY MILD SALSA: use 2 tablespoons green chiles
- MEDIUM SALSA: Prepare as written
- HOT SALSA: Use 2 jalapenos, veins and seeds included
- The canned diced jalapenos are packed with citric acid NOT vinegar. Add about 2 tablespoons (canned jalapenos) per 1 fresh jalapeno with seeds and veins (called for in the recipe). If you want medium-mild, start with 1 tablespoon.
