Our go-to summer appetizer is homemade salsa and guacamole. You simply can’t beat the fresh garden flavours. This salsa is best made an hour or two before serving to allow the flavours to come together. Serve with the best tortilla chips you can find.

These look so “FRAICHE” & delicious Tori … Can’t wait to try them!
Love fresh pico but hate hand chopping everything! Do you have a favorite device that does it?!
Hi Laura, I always chop it by hand as otherwise the tomatoes get more pureed!
