Notes

This recipe makes 1 cup of salsa
Try to find small garden cherry tomatoes, those very small-multicolored tomatoes. If you can’t find any, then use regular cherry tomatoes. Grape tomatoes have a very hard skin and aren’t as sweet as cherry tomatoes.
As mentioned above, you can substitute bird peppers with any other green pepper like Serrano or jalapeño. If using Serrano or jalapeño, dice them very finely.
