Nice dipping salsa for with chips. Great for snacking with the Super Bowl! My hubby and I like ours with the super hot peppers, but I realize not everybody likes super hot food so I made that ingredient optional. It is easy to alter the spice amounts in this recipe to match your particular taste. During the summer months when I have an excess amount of fresh produce from my gardens, I will put this salsa in a container and freeze it.
