Fresh Salsa

I love the fresh ingredients that start pouring from our gardens this time of year.  Let the healthy feasting begin!  Today I have a fresh salsa recipe to share that feels extra special because the tomatoes come from Mark’s Uncle Roger’s garden.  His garden is truly beautiful and tomatoes are definitely flourishing.
