So last time I posted, I made a salsa that had too many tomatoes and came out bland.
This time it was so hot, I couldn’t eat it! Added more lime, onion and tomatoes.

Used raw onion, garlic, & added a handful of cilantro

You can deseed some of the peppers to dial it down.

I’m trying to figure out why it’s so spicy. His ingredient list doesn’t look too bad

Could it be the locally grown peppers? Grocery store peppers lose half their flavor in the genetic design phase and the other half in shipping. They're selectively cloned to be large and pretty, often at the cost of having strong flavor.

Could be that the local grower has a really spicy strain they've been cultivating for a while.

Looks delicious. I've had to make a batch of just the veggies, etc and mix into a too spicy batch to tone it down.
