Restaurant Style Salsa

I finally decided to make a homemade Salsa, like the one you get at a restaurant. The one that there’s no stopping once you get started, the mouth-watering one, the spicy one, the one they bring you refills on which you gladly accept. Yep, that’s the one ! This is Ree Drummond’s recipe and she hit it right on. I was a little afraid of how spicy it would turn out so I did not include the jalapeno seeds and that made it “mild”. The next time  I was more adventures and included all the seeds and that gave it a little heat. This salsa is fresh and simply put “delicioso”.
