A Slightly Different Salsa

Combine all of the ingredients in a big bowl and allow to marinate at least 1 hour before serving.

To chiffonade the mint, pluck the leaves from the stems and rinse, then shake dry. Pile a few leaves and then roll them very tightly into a cigar. Cut thin ribbons diagonally. If you prefer smaller pieces, slice your cigar lengthwise down the middle first, leaving a short, uncut end and then cut the ribbons.

You can add chili if you’d like. I keep Tabasco sauce on hand for when these friends come.
