It is our favorite time of year, time to get ready for the fresh tomatoes and everything that can be made from these awesome little fruits.We have a garden and every year we plant lots of tomatoes, in years past we have had over 350 lbs. of them. One of our favorite tomato treats is fresh salsa and we would like to share one of our preferred recipes. This salsa has a tangy taste that tempts the taste buds leaving you wanting more.
What kind of tomatoes should I use?
Our favorite tomatoes for salsa is actually a mix, canned tomatoes from the store will work but there is no comparison to fresh. |
