The Best Salsa Recipe
Salsa is always a party favorite. Not only can it be used as a spicy dip for tortilla chips, but it can add great flavor and zest to tacos, burgers, and nachos. The best part is that it’s super easy to make at home with only a handful of fresh ingredients.
Fresh salsa or pico de gallo is always a crowd favorite and is best made in the summer months when tomatoes are ripe and at their tastiest peak.
