And mix. Done.

Well, remember that little secret I mentioned?

Here it is….roast the tomatoes for that delicious roast-y flavor. :)
And save 6 behind. Why? For even more fresh flavor.
You’ll chop those and add those right in without being roasted. YUMMY.
Such a delicious mix of flavors.

Hope you enjoy as much as we do! And remember, stay tuned to see that wonderful recipe I use this and the colorful corn salsa in.
I’ll be sharing that next week!
