Soup

  With my ongoing obsession with salsa (seriously, what can you not put it on?), I am making different types of salsa. I have already posted a regular salsa recipe, as well as one for pico de gallo, but salsa picante falls somewhere in the middle of the two in terms of chunkiness. I have even posted a mango salsa recipe. I usually make up a big batch of this and then store it in the fridge. It will keep for around 5 days - if you don't eat it all before then of course.
