Charred Tomato Salsa

There is nothing quite like picking garden-fresh tomatoes and jalapeños, firing them up with some fresh onions and garlic, and creating pure alchemy in a charred tomato salsa. Dip into this salsa with some crisp corn chips on game day or any occasion that calls for fresh homemade salsa (pretty much any occasion in our book!). This deliciously fresh salsa will be gone before you know it!
