“Restaurant Style” Salsa Recipe

This salsa will bring all the boys to the yard. Or at least your coworkers.

I like to bring my work coworkers leftovers (aka “lefties” if you work at Match.com) of my recipes to assess and hopefully enjoy.

This past week when I brought a container of this salsa for the girls to try, I was a little weary as this crowd is die-hard for Tex-Mex. But when they gave the chips a little dip in the flavor pool, with a gleam in their eyes they decided it tasted like OTB… On The Border, only the most highly acclaimed Mexican restaurant this side of the office building.

It was then I teared up. Haha just kidding but really, this salsa is like, totally On The Border and Off The Hook. 🙂 Throw everything in the food processor or blender and you’re good-to-go!
