I have had lots of salsa from jars, restaurants and this is by far the best I have made. There is nothing like having something home-made. This recipe took less than 15 minutes to make, and the ingredients are simple.
Of course you can use fresh tomatoes for this recipe, but I wanted to show you that can tomatoes work just as well.
I do love making food from scratch as much as I can. It not only saves me money, but it also tastes much better. This is also great when you’re looking for a snack because it only takes minutes to make.
This salsa is easy to make for last minute friends coming over, grill outs and pot lucks. You can never go wrong with bringing salsa to a party.
