A mile up the road from where I live is the sweetest little family farm with some of the best produce around. I love stopping by every weekend to visit their cows, cut my own flowers, and see what seasonal items they have available. This past weekend they had the biggest, juiciest tomatoes that were just begging to be turned into a salsa. And that is how we got here.
This roasted tomato salsa is an ode to my favorite little farm and my Saturday’s spent there. I used 3 different colored tomatoes (green, red, and orange) just to change it up a bit which hopefully inspires you to make this salsa your own! I will say, it is definitely something that gets better each day as the flavors really have a chance to marinate.
