This is a quick and easy salsa recipe. Especially if you opt for canned diced tomatoes rather than chopping your own fresh!

It shows up in a couple of Simmons' dishes in The Good Egg, so I figured I might as well give it its own post for easy future reference.

It's a little mild for my taste. I think next time I'd leave the seeds and pith in the jalapeño to give it a little more kick. I'd also be inclined to add a little garlic. It's fine as is, but I do generally like a little garlic in my salsa. Simmons also calls for a bit of olive oil to be added. I omitted this as I didn't feel it was necessary and I'm trying to watch my weight. Feel free to try it with the oil if you're not counting calories though.
