The recipe for this homemade restaurant style salsa is a versatile one. Add as much or as little heat as you like. I like mine a little garlicky, so I add two cloves of garlic. If you aren’t a fan of garlic, then go with a single clove. If you prefer a chunkier salsa, just don’t blend as much. And as far as heat goes, add as little or as much jalapeño as you can handle.
