I'm not sure I have ever met a person who does not enjoy chips and salsa. It is one of the best snacks out there. I decided that homemade salsa was probably better than anything I could buy in the store ( I am convinced homemade >>> store-bought anything) and was pleased to find out I am right. The key is using very fresh ingredients. You can used canned tomatoes and bottled minced garlic for example, but using fresh ingredients really livens up the taste. Normally I do all my shopping for recipes at the beginning of the week but I bought the ingredients for the salsa the night before to ensure their freshness.
