Salsa Recipes to Kick off Summer!

salsaThere are a handful of foods that, when placed in front of me, can cause all semblance of self control to fly right out the window. Chips & salsa fall solidly into that category, so of course, they make an appearance at nearly every party and summer gathering we host. It’s such an easy dish to serve, and so universally loved! 

Debates are had — at my house anyway — over what kind of salsa is best. There are savory salsas and sweet salsas, spicy versus mild, thick and chunky faces off with smooth, restaurant-style salsa. I’m sure your family has your own salsa opinions and favorites, but the two recipes I’m about to share are the front-runners for us.

This first one, well, it’s so popular at my house that I have never managed to snap a photo of it! It disappears that quickly! And of course, I don’t want to get my salty chip fingers on the phone. 😉

[yumprint-recipe id=’12’]This second salsa is a chunkier, super quick recipe that was given to me by my friend Lindsey in San Antonio. It is almost as well-loved as my restaurant-style recipe. You know how you can tell it’s the first runner-up? I managed a photo! 

[yumprint-recipe id=’13’]Regardless which recipe you decide to try, you can have delicious, homemade salsa ready in under 30 minutes! I consider that a summer party WIN!
