Teriyaki Grilled Salmon With Corn Peach Salsa

The word Salsa comes from South America and it means sauce back in 1846 and it was a tomato based ingredient made with raw tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic and fresh cilantro but today there are many ways to create a tasty Salsa making it hot, sweet, mild even spicy what ever your taste buds call for jut know that Salsa is made for more than just chips.

Now when I say Salsa is made for more than chips I use it for many different uses like putting it on baked potatoes, mixed in salads over chicken even fish. The problem mot people don't make salsa at home is because they thought it was hard to make because of the way it was made in the early years but these day people use a food processor making it really super simple to make.

I will say if your going to try creating your own salsa make sure you use good products and good flavored ingredients, veggies like onions, peppers, garlic should be chopped on the fine side and veggies like tomatoes should be chopped a little bigger because they are on the soft side but if you can't get a fresh veggies that's fine you can use can or frozen but make sure they are good can or frozen veggies because sometime you do not have time to cut up veggies or you can't get fresh.
