Around this time of the summer, in between freezing, preserving, and snacking, I am trying my best to put some good use to my summer garden harvests. One of my favorite ways to preserve the summer a little bit longer would be making my favorite Fire Roasted Salsa recipe! This recipe can really be a catch-all for your favorite seasonal vegetables and herbs. If you are hosting summer parties and cookouts, this is a dip you will want to have on hand!
Break out the tortilla chips and let’s dig in!
