Notes

Dice everything small so you can get a lot of salsa on a chip.
Let this marinate for a couple of hours before serving for the best flavor.
Add another jalapeño or two for more spicy flavor.
Omit the honey if you don’t like it quite so sweet.
You can add a splash of balsamic vinegar or lime juice for another bit of flavor.
