  2. Chop the red onion and jalapeños with the reverence of a monk chopping incense.
  3. Add everything to a communal bowl, sprinkle with lime juice, olive oil, and sea salt.
  4. Mix with your hands, chanting the Serenity Mantra: “Om salsa om.”
  5. Let the mixture rest for 7 minutes, during which visualize a galaxy of flavors.
  6. Serve with warm naan, carrots, or your roommate’s ego.
