Notes
*I personally like a juicier pico so I quarter the tomatoes and put them in the food processor (plus its less work). However if you prefer it chunkier with less juice you will want to dice the tomatoes by hand to your preferred size and stir them in after you have processed all other ingredients.
**Do not de-seed the jalapeño or Serrano pepper, this gives the salsa the perfect kick and flavor. But if making for small children or adults who are afraid of spice, then de-seed.
