mexican red table salsa, salsa roja de mesa
This salsa dates back to my great-grandmother's time, I am sure even further back. This sauce has been passed down for generations. It is timeless and delicious. I have tweaked it a little bit. But basically, it is the same and nothing has been omitted. It's always been on my table next to the salt and pepper. Enjoy!
