Salsa Cocida
We are some serious salsa eaters! To be honest making salsa can be time consuming. There is a lot of chopping and dicing. The worst part it does not last very long in the refrigerator. My Salsa Cocida recipe is literally the easiest salsa recipe you will ever make and because it’s cooked it last up to 10 days in the refrigerator. I usually make a double batch and freeze half.
