Salsa with a Salvadoran Twist
Being raised in Texas and transplanted to Los Angeles, my husband and I eat a lot of hot sauce. We always have a bottle of Tapatio in the fridge, but nothing beats fresh salsa. At our local farmers market, we like to get pupusas (which Hayden loves) and salsa. The mint in El Salvadoran salsa is so good! While I will never be able to replicate it, this one comes in as a close second.
