3. Make the dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, fish sauce, olive oil, and sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved.
4. Mix the salsa:

- Add the minced garlic and mix thoroughly to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated.

Tips:

- For a milder salsa, you can remove the seeds from the chili peppers before chopping.

- Let the salsa sit for about 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

- If you like a chunkier salsa, chop the ingredients roughly; for a smoother texture, chop them finely or use a blender for a few pulses.

- You can add other ingredients such as diced avocado or corn to customize the salsa to your liking.

- Store any leftover salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for the best freshness.
