Juice of 1 Lime

Coach’s Notes:
Adjust the Heat: If you're sensitive to spicy flavors or are serving to those who are, consider using less jalapeño or omitting it altogether. For those who love a kick, you might even try adding the whole pepper or leaving in some seeds.
Enhance the Citrus: For a zestier touch, you can grate some of the lime rind into the salsa. Lime zest can elevate the tanginess and freshness of the dish.
Experiment with Herbs: While cilantro provides a distinct and complementary flavor, don't hesitate to explore with other herbs. Freshly chopped mint or basil can introduce a unique twist to the salsa's profile.
