1cupred oniondiced (approximately ½ a medium onion)

Instructions
Finely dice your ingredients – make sure to de-stem the cilantro and Jalapeño, removing the seeds.
Add fruit and vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
Add lime juice and cilantro and toss.
Notes
Seed the jalapeño for less heat.
Rinse and dry cilantro leaves ahead of time to avoid excess liquid.
Make sure to let the salsa refrigerate for a few hours. This allows the flavors of the ingredients to absorb into each other.
Be careful when cutting jalapeños! Don’t touch your face/eyes after you’ve touched a jalapeno until you’ve thoroughly washed your hands. The capsaicin, or heat, can transfer from your hands to your eyes and make them burn for a while.
