Early in our marriage, I had come home from work and made something Tex Mex, not realizing that we were out of salsa.

Jokingly, my husband said that I should go in the kitchen and just whip something up. Well, this is it. We’ve been making this salsa for about 15 years now, only using store bought in a pinch.  I love the fresh taste and that it is so quick and easy.
