[edit] Tips
- Salsa is best the day after making it, giving the ingredients time to blend.
- Milder salsa can be made by substituting sweet peppers for the jalapeño and chili peppers. Hotter salsa can be made by increasing the peppers and adding a finely chopped habanero pepper.
- Blend some or all of the salsa for a smoother texture.
- Use clean rubber gloves to chop habanero peppers, or your hands will burn for several hours.
[edit] Warnings
- Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling the peppers. Pepper juice can sting quite badly if you rub your eyes or touch a cut before washing your hands.
- If you have a cut on your hand wear rubber gloves that does not have powder in it.
