i love salsa! it's nice, fresh and not to heavy. i've taken to getting a
decent jarred salsa and adding fresh minced garlic, chopped onion, jalapeno
and cilantro with maybe a fresh lime squeezed in. it's not as good as fresh
but will fool the average non foodie and it sparks up the taste quite
nicely.
