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 a little but basically it is the same nothing has been omitted. It's always been on my table next to the salt and pepper. Enjoy

How to Make Mexican Red Table Salsa, Salsa Roja de Mesa

Step-by-Step

Put everything into a large microwavable bowl. Nuke for six minutes. Pour everything into a blender and with short pulses, pulse into small chunks. Do not let blender liquify everything. This salsa should be chunky.
Pour into a salsa bowl and serve with nachos, tortilla chips or with your grilled meats or chicken. Or as a side dish to season your meal. Enjoy. I spred this salsa on my bolillos see my post when making molletes and bolillos.
