This salsa is my favorite condiment at the moment. I want to dip everything in this stuff, pour it on things, drink it, bathe in it. Once you make it, you’ll know what I’m talking about. Smoking adds a dramatic effect to the flavor, making it outstanding and complex. The smoked garlic, tomatoes, onions, and peppers create a refreshing and irresistible salsa that puts restaurant versions to shame.
