Restaurant Style Salsa

Groony1's Note:

You sit down at a Mexican restaurant and they bring you a bowl of chips and salsa. You have one chip, dip it, but can't stop there. You continue until all the chips and salsa are gone and ask for more. This is that salsa. It is great on any dish from tacos to scrambled eggs. Adjust the amount of jalapeno peppers and salt to suite your own palate. With the two Jalapenos, this version is spicy.

Very good! As soon as we finish the salsa, we immediately make another batch. IT IS THAT GOOD!

This was a good recipe! My daughter thought it had too much cilantro so I might reduce that next time to please her. I will also cut the recipe in half the next time that I make it because it made a lot. Good for a party!
