Chef’s Pro Tips

  • For extra brightness, add a pinch of roasted tomato seeds or a splash of orange juice.
  • If you like a smoother texture, blend longer; for chunkier, pulse briefly.

Serving Suggestions

Pair with warm tortilla chips, top grilled proteins, or spoon over roasted veggies for a fresh roja salsa bowl.

Storage Instructions

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Bring to room temp before serving for best flavor.
