For a milder salsa, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeno peppers before chopping. If fresh cactus is unavailable, canned cactus can be substituted. Be sure to rinse it well before dicing. This salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will continue to develop over time! Adjust the amount of lime juice to your preference. Some prefer a tangier salsa, while others enjoy a milder citrus note.
