- For a milder salsa, use fewer jalapenos or remove the seeds and membranes.
- If you can't find ripe tomatoes, use canned diced tomatoes instead.
- Substitute the cucumber for zucchini - Zucchini is a great substitute for cucumber because it has a similar texture and flavor, but a slightly sweeter taste. This will give the salsa a unique flavor that will be a nice contrast to the spiciness of the jalapenos.
- Substitute the radishes for bell peppers - Bell peppers are a great substitution for radishes because they are milder in flavor, and will add a nice crunch and sweetness to the salsa. This will help to balance out the spiciness of the jalapenos and the tartness of the lime juice.
