Seed and finely mince the jalapeño pepper. Add it to the bowl, adjusting the amount based on your spice preference.

Step 7

Drizzle the mixture with the lime juice and honey. Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Season the salsa with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.

Step 9

Let the salsa sit for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors together before serving.

Step 10
