Notes
This salsa can be made entirely with canned tomatoes, but it is my preference to add at least half fresh tomatoes to this recipe. The fresh tomatoes make a world of difference in the overall flavor and in the peak of tomato season, I especially love it with all fresh tomatoes. Feel free to adapt the recipe however it will fit your style best.
