Restaurant Style Salsa


Hail to P-dub.  PW sometimes is too non fat conscious for me, but this recipe is your best local mexican restaurant in your own kitchen.  Not chunky, a nice tang from the lime, and completely yum.  Better than any jarred version, and not complex in any way shape or form.  My husband B would insist that he didn't know how to cook- he just assembled.  This recipe is assembly.  It makes about 3/4 of a liter of salsa, too!!
     It's my go-to salsa recipe.  Make this one week when you are planning Benchiladas or Chicken Taquitos- something that needs salsa as an ingredient!
