Famous Florida! Fresh Key Lime Salsa

You can use habanero peppers instead of jalapeno, but be sure to remove the seeds and only use half of the pepper. They are the hottest peppers anywhere!

1 fresh jalapeno pepper*, seeded and minced

1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves

1 medium red onion, minced

1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

Juice of 2 Key limes or 1 small lime

In a medium size glass bowl mix together the tomatoes, jalapeno pepper, cilantro, onion, sugar and salt and pepper. Combine well. Add the juice; cover and refrigerate for 4-5 hours before serving.
