Make Your Own Salsa for National Tortilla Chip Day

We always have salsa in our house. My husband likes to use it on everything not just with chips. But with National Chip Day (Feb. 24) here of course salsa is a must. So when I heard of the Vidalia Chop Wizard, I knew it would be perfect for us. I couldn’t wait to make my own salsa. 

Here is a recipe that I know you will enjoy. *Recipe courtesy of AllRecipes.com reprinted with permission by 5W Public Relations.
