Cook’s Notes

• This is a chunky salsa.  If you like your salsa more like a sauce with a smoother consistency, all you have to do is put it through the blender.
• Are your onions making you cry?  Try a slicing motion with your knives, rather than chopping.  Using a sharp knife will also help.  The reason you cry, is because the juice squirts out of the onion when you press with your knife.  If you slice with a sharp knife, it is less likely to squirt.
