Italian Salsa Dip
This Italian Salsa recipe came to me quite by accident one day. While trying to make a simple salsa I discovered I didn’t have any cilantro or lime juice, two much needed ingredients for fresh salsa. So I substituted balsamic vinegar for the lime juice and basil and garlic for the cilantro. The result? A fresh, healthy tomato dip that is so delicious, I’ve been making it ever since! Call it salsa, call it bruschetta, whatever the name, this chunky, vibrant dip is perfect for chips, pita bread, crackers, you name it! This Italian salsa begins and ends with fresh, juicy tomatoes. I love making this salsa with tomatoes out of the garden, but you can find delicious options at the grocery store too. It’s a good excuse to scope out farmers markets in your area! As you know, dips are my very favorite food group! This one shot to the top of the list as soon as I tasted it. It’s perfect for a game day appetizer! Be sure to try my Tomatillo Avocado Salsa and Salsa Verde too! This salsa is so wonderfully fresh thanks and the balsamic vinegar gives it an amazing sweet and tangy flavor. It’s a must make for this tomato season!
