To make salsa less spicy, you can try several effective methods:

• Dilute the salsa by adding more non-spicy ingredients such as tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. You can either make a new batch without peppers and mix it in or simply add more fresh tomatoes to reduce the concentration of heat

• Increase acidity by adding lime juice or a bit of vinegar. The acidity helps counterbalance the heat from the peppers while enhancing the salsa’s flavor

• Add sweetness with a small amount of sugar, honey, or tomato paste. Sweetness can tone down the spiciness without making the salsa taste overly sweet

• Incorporate fat by mixing in fried onions or serving the salsa with sour cream. Fat helps neutralize capsaicin, the compound that causes the burning sensation from spicy peppers

• Remove seeds and membranes from peppers before adding them to salsa, as these parts contain most of the heat. This is more preventive but useful if you are making salsa from scratch

These adjustments allow you to reduce the heat while maintaining or even improving the overall flavor of your salsa
