After our missed week last week due to our busy spring weekend, we’re back sharing our menu and favorite recipes. Salsa is one of the easiest and most versatile recipes we’ve ever made. It’s basically a combination of fruits and veggies chopped and combined with spices. Why do so many people shy away from making their own? You control the quality and taste so every batch is perfect. You do not need a food processor to make salsa but it sure makes it a lot faster.
