Notes

My personal preference is a medium chunky salsa, so for all the ingredients marked with an asterisk, I roughly chop half and blend in the food processor and hand cut the remainder. If you prefer a smoother consistency, then you can just blend the entire amount in the food processor or blender. If you like an even chunkier version, you can hand cut all the fresh stuff.
