Simmer, partially uncovered, over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, 10 minutes. 2. Uncover and cook for 5 minutes longer. Reduce the heat if the salsa boils. 3. Transfer the salsa to a bowl and let it cool to room temperature. Stir in the cilantro, if desired, and season with salt. If not serving immediately, refrigerate, covered, up to 24 hours. Makes 2 cups.
