My favorite thing about going to a Mexican restaurant, other than the margaritas that is, is the fresh salsa. There are some great store bought salsas, but that endless salsa at a Mexican restaurant is just amazing. I created a recipe for salsa that is similar to the one that is served at one of my favorite restaurants. Homemade salsa is really so simple to make. The ingredient list is a little long, but once you have everything, it only takes a couple minutes to make an amazing salsa.
To make this salsa, you honestly just get all of the veggies ready, throw everything into your blender or food processor and go! This salsa is great with chips or can be an awesome condiment on meats or other dishes. Whip up some margaritas and enjoy it with some friends!
