We have had lots of visitors recently and have been visiting others as well. As such I have been making a few batches of salsa. It works well with veggie sticks and corn chips as quick savoury treat to have at home or take with us if we are going out.
This recipe I learnt from another mother in my original Mother’s Group (over 10 years ago!). It is very easy and quick to cook and you can adjust the seasonings to your taste. I like my salsa quite spicy so it children won’t be eating it then I put quite a bit of chilli in it.

Oh yum! How easy and cheap is that Salsa recipe. We eat heaps of salsa (Sunday night is Nacho night, every night is spag bog nite according to master 13 and dips and rice crackers are a standard snack) but paying $4.00 a bottle is ludicrous. I’ll try this and let you know what the taste testers return.
Nacho night sounds like fun. Hope the crew like this salsa.
