Best Salsa Ever

If you’ve ever had a fridge full of leftovers and thought, “this could use something bright,” this is it.
I started making salsa years ago when I realized store-bought jars just didn’t taste the same. Mine’s fresh, bold, and comes together in minutes.
No roasting, no stress. Just blend, taste, and watch how fast it disappears.
