GREEN TOMATO SALSA
What is the difference between SALSA and a SALAD? Salsa is a condiment, a mixture of tomatoes, peppers, onions, etc... While Salad is a side dish or can be an entire meal. More on leafy greens and sometimes toppings.
Here is my simple recipe I've learn from FINE COOKING, what my family adore while watching movie with corn chips.
