Recipe Notes
Easily control the level of heat in this salsa by tossing in additional jalapeño peppers. The heat from chiles is usually found around the seeds and ribs of the pepper, which we've removed.If you like your salsa spicy, feel free to include some, or all, of the seeds.Using only one jalapeño and removing all the seeds, I'd say this salsa recipe (as written) is on the mild side.Serving size: ¼ cupClick here to see your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site.0*SmartPoints (Green plan)0*SmartPoints (Blue plan)0*SmartPoints (Purple plan)0*PointsPlus (Old plan)
