Why We Love It
This roasted tomato salsa is a family classic that’s been perfected over 25 years — and for good reason! It’s still the one we reach for every time. The secret? Fire-roasted tomatoes, fresh ingredients, and just the right kick of heat. You can easily adjust the spice level to your liking, mild, medium, or bring-the-heat!
