Preparation time: 10 minutes
Total time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4

Necessary ingredients:
- 1 can of tomatoes (preferably whole red tomatoes for better texture)
- 2 tablespoons pickled jalapeños (adjustable according to your taste)
- 1 tablespoon vinegar (white wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar for a more complex flavor)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (to enhance the flavors)
- ½ red onion (finely chopped)
- A handful of fresh cilantro (finely chopped)

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Preparing the tomatoes: Start by draining the canned tomatoes. This step is essential, as it will give you a thicker salsa without excess liquid. After draining, chop the tomatoes finely, leaving some larger pieces for texture.

2. Combining the ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the chopped tomato pulp. Add the finely chopped pickled jalapeños. Here, you can adjust the amount of jalapeños based on how spicy you like your salsa.

3. Adding the flavors: Continue by adding the vinegar, olive oil, finely chopped red onion, and fresh cilantro. Mix all the ingredients well with a spatula or wooden spoon, so the flavors combine evenly.

4. Taste and adjust: It is important to taste the salsa before serving. You may want to add a little salt or pepper, or even more jalapeños, depending on your preferences.

5. Cooling and serving: For an even more enjoyable experience, let the salsa chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and blend perfectly.

Serving suggestions:
This spicy salsa is fantastic served with tortilla chips, tacos, or even as a topping for pizza. You can also use it as a side for pasta or grilled meat. If you want a sweeter version, you can add diced mango or peaches for an interesting contrast.

Possible variations:
- Salsa Verde: Replace the tomatoes with green tomatoes or green peppers for a fresher version.
- Fruit Salsa: Add pieces of pineapple or kiwi for a tropical note.
- Avocado Salsa: Incorporate diced avocado for a creamy texture.
