Notes

  • The finer and more evenly chopped the ingredients are, the more flavor you’ll get in each bite! I love using this veggie chopper because it dices everything small and into a uniform shape!

  • Classically, serve this like salsa with tortilla chips. It’s also delicious mixed into a salad on top of potatoes, or make it a meal with grilled chicken, shrimp, or salmon and some rice.
