Its that time of year when everyone's gardens (hopefully!) are abundant with produce! Tomatoes, jalapeño, peppers, growing out of control. Let's use up the best fresh garden veggies you can round up (even if they are store bought, ha!) and let's make a Fresh Garden Salsa.

I'm honestly not even sure where this recipe originated. But it is one of the 3 things my mom is known for making in our house. Haha, she's not the best in the kitchen but she tries.
See this Fiesta Corn Dip that is another dish she's known for! So I've got 2 of 3 of "Mom's Recipes" on the blog... I guess her potato soup will have to make it here eventually!
Anyways! I have no idea where she got it but I've made a few tweaks to my liking and I'm sharing this garden salsa with you today. It's silky smooth and restaurant style. The texture is awesome and with your garden veggies, it'll be out of this world!
