SUPER SASSY SALSA
It's long been a proverbial favourite. One that I fall back on so often. Whether it's enjoyed stand alone with corn chips to veggie dippers or with tacos, as a filling in avocados, over sweet potatoes filled with black beans, or as a side with chili or enchiladas, salsa is a great staple to have on hand.
For an appetizer party, match this up with this Black Bean Salsa dip.
Most everyone loves it. And best, it is so easy to make with endless variations. Here is a simple, sensational version with ingredients you likely have on hand so start chopping.
