A creamy twist. Add some tang to your favorite store bought, or homemade salsa.
Just blend! It’s ready to go in 10 minutes. It doesn’t get much easier than that!
Only 2 ingredients!!! It’s especially quick if you start with your favorite store-bought salsa, but making your own is still pretty simple!
