I’m a sauces and salsa kinda person…
Are you? I always love going to Mexican restaurants (or any restaurant for that matter) and love to eat chips n’ salsa. Sometimes I rant and rave about the homemade salsa, and sometimes I complain (to my husband only of course) when you can taste that it is jarred salsa.
Don’t get me wrong, there ain’t nothing wrong with jarred salsa, but there IS just something about a homemade salsa. It’s ingredients taste much more fresh, it’s prettier, and the flavors are out.of.this.world. If you’ve never made restaurant-style salsa, now’s your chance to make THE best restaurant style salsa.
Got 5 minutes? Then you can totally make this!
