Our Best Homemade Salsa Ideas
Salsa is the Spanish word for 'sauce' so it’s not surprising that there are lots of variations on the dish, each one as tasty as the next. Whether you opt for a salsa roja with dried chiles for taco night, a tomatillo-based salsa verde for Game Day snacking, a fresh-and-fruity salsa for your cookout or something else, each and every one of these recipes is perfect for adding extra flavor to your meals—or as a dip alongside guacamole and tortilla chips! Wondering where to start? We reccomend Iron Chef Jose Garces salsa roja. It tastes even better when you let it sit in the refirgerator overnight so it's the perfect choice when you need a make-ahead snack or appetizer.
