I really miss chips and salsa. I typically don’t allow myself near the chips… but I do eat salsa.
Years and years ago, my friend Jen introduced me to the joy of having fresh salsa on hand. I quickly learned that fresh salsa (by far) trumped the stuff you could buy in the jar and have been making it this way ever since!
It whips up very nicely in a small 4 cup food processor, blender, or magic bullet. Be sure to swing back and tell me what you think!

- 1 splash red wine vinegar or lime juice
- salt and pepper, to taste
