So I admit, sometimes I make things from cans - nothing wrong with that. In fact, one day when I was hungry for salsa but too lazy to go to the grocery store and pick up the ingredients I came up with this concoction. I was so happy with the result, this is the way I make it most often now, so I call it Lazy Salsa because it requires minimal effort with great results. This is good on grilled chicken or steak too!
Salsa means 'sauce' - Picante Salsa means 'hot sauce', picante is just an abbreviated form. Salsa is thicker than picante as well.
1 28-oz can petite diced tomatoes, drained

Combine ingredients in a bowl, refrigerate for at least two hours - serve
We call this Texas Caviar :) One of our faves...
ReplyDeleteI made this for a weekend getaway with my girlfriend and they LOVED it! I used RoTel tomatoes with lime and cilantro (I desired :) but followed all other directions to a T. Ms Pink, some of my friends make Texas Caviar but use way more beans. I found this a nice compromise between the caviar and salsa. Thank you for this yummy and EASY recipe, Ross!
