A few weeks ago, Michael entered a salsa contest at work. They do fun things like that from time-to-time. Salsa, chili, beans, watermelon seed spitting… Of course he waited until the night before to find a recipe and buy the supplies, and I was tasked with scouring Pinterest for a good salsa recipe. I came across the Pioneer Woman’s (of course!) and it sounded perfect so that is what we settled on.
He ended up winning Second Place! (First Place was green sauce which really shouldn’t even count….).
I didn’t have a chance to take a picture of it, so here is one he took during the contest
This recipe was easy, delicious, and cheap.

i have been meaning to tell you for a few weeks now that this is my favorite, favorite pw recipe. i have it memorized. i have made it so many times. it’s so good to give as a gift, too, because it seems a lot more complicated than it is. i always take it the one time a year we go to a party. (and then i leave because i’m antisocial.) good find, friend!
