Holy smoke! It might not be red, but this salsa is loaded with fiery flavor. Cooking the produce low and slow in a smoker gives it a rich, woody aroma and taste that makes each bite irresistible. Just blend the veggies with fresh-squeezed lime juice and some spices and start dipping tortilla chips, topping tacos or spicing up anything that needs extra zest. We’re not just blowing smoke, this salsa is extraordinary!
