There is nothing like this homemade salsa. It’s better than what you can buy at the store and it literally takes less than 10 minutes to make. During grill season, I always have some in the fridge. It’s not just for chips (although, yes, chips/salsa/guacamole/margaritas are a fave combo!). It’s great on a piece of grilled chicken or fish, as a topping for tacos, etc.
My most recent discovery is that it is fantastic as salad dressing on a Mexican style salad! With no oils in it, it’s a super low-fat, low cal way to dress you salad in deliciousness!
