cilantro

🥗Healthier: parsley

💰Cheaper: spinach

Fire roast the serrano peppers and tomatoes on a grill for about 10 minutes until soft.

Remove the skins from the roasted tomatoes and peppers once they have cooled for about 5-10 minutes.

Wear gloves to remove the skin from the peppers to avoid irritation from capsaicin.

Cut off the tops of the peppers and dice the tomato into a thicker chop.

Puree the roasted peppers with about 1/4 cup of water until smooth.

Mix the pureed peppers with diced red onion, white vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar, olive oil, chopped cilantro, diced tomato, and honey.

Mix all ingredients together thoroughly.

Refrigerate the salsa for 2-3 hours to let the flavors meld.
