mexican salsa
When I get fresh tomatoes and herbs, I like making these salsa. It take a few minutes to roast your peppers, but it's worth-it. Also, take your tomatoes and place them in boiling water for about 15 second, or until the skins start to crack. If you like HOT-HOT salsa, leave the seeds in.
