Tomato Salsa Recipe

The best tomato salsa recipes are made with fresh ingredients. No canned tomatoes, chilis or packaged dehydrated powders allowed.

The name “salsa” comes from the Spanish word for sauce. However, this condiment was around long before the Spanish were exposed to it.

History dictates that perhaps the use of making a sauce out chiles, tomatoes and other ingredients began as far back as 3000 BC with the Aztec culture. The Aztecs along with the Spaniards had a great affect on the quisine of Mexico and other Latin American Countries where salsa is an everyday staple today. It’s popularity around the world has become phenomenal. 

These are a couple of my favorite salsas recipes.
