20 amazing salsa recipes to try

Nothing says summer like salsa, right? Except maybe homemade ice cream. Or any ice cream, for that matter.

But I’m not gonna lie, salsa’s not better than ice cream. Not much is, honestly. But hey, you might still want to make salsa, right? Here are 20 homemade salsa recipes that look pretty darn delicious.
