For a milder salsa, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño peppers.
If the salsa is too thick, add a little more water until you reach your desired consistency.
This salsa is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The color may change slightly due to oxidation, but the flavor will still be delicious.
