Tips and Tricks:
- Soak the finely chopped red onion in cold water for about 10 minutes before adding to the salsa. This helps to mellow its sharpness.
- Mix the honey and lime juice together separately before adding to the salsa. This ensures the honey is evenly distributed.
- Wear gloves when seeding and mincing jalapeños to avoid irritation. If you prefer less heat, remove all seeds and membranes.
