Salsa is one of my favorite foods. You have not had good salsa until you have had fresh homemade salsa. You can taste each ingredient and you can taste the freshness. It is also healthier.
I love the taste of salsa but I can never eat too much of it. Even if I eat the mildest of mild salsas you can find it still gives me heartburn. I have never tried fresh homemade salsa. Maybe that would not bother me as much.
