The Scoop on Salsa

I was recently reading the label of a commonly found salsa verde… yellow dye, red dye, blue dye and thickeners filled the jar, all blended up with soybean oil. Sounds good, right? I decided to make my own and surprised myself with how simple it was. I have since used it as salsa, salad dressing, chicken marinade, and even as a dip for veggies.
