Flavor abounds in this recipe for hot salsa! Fresh, spicy, and easy—did I say that? This salsa comes the closest to the kind served in restaurants. The cilantro, lime juice, and green onions offer freshness, while the jalapenos and hot pepper sauce (like Tabasco) spice up the dish.

My roommate and I have been using this recipe for about a year now, and it is one of my favorites! We have been using blue cheese dressing instead of the Caesar dressing because it complements the spices nicely. Best Taco Tuesday or any day recipe!
