JEN'S FRESH AND SPICY SALSA



Jen's Fresh and Spicy Salsa image

This is the best homemade salsa ever! I originally found this on allrecipes.com. Everyone always requests it for potlucks and parties. This can be watery so I usually chop the tomatoes first and put them in a strainer basket while I do the rest. I have a small food chopper which really cuts down the prep time on this.
