Is jarred salsa ever as incredible as you expect? It is not. Although the store-bought salsa will save you time and make your life easier, it lacks flavor. This is why homemade salsa recipes are so popular.
It’s simple: Salsa is meant to bring out bold flavors in a dish. Pizzazz, if you will. The exclamation point’s sole purpose. While there are many excellent premade salsas, it isn’t easy to find the flavor you want on a shelf.
True pack-a-punch salsa can only be made fresh at home using many amazing ingredients. We’re not talking about tomatoes. Tomato salsa is a staple for a good reason. However, any fruit and vegetable can join the party in a supporting or leading position. We’re talking about corn, tomatillos and man.
