Join the discussionIt’s lovely, and so easy! My family just finished enjoying this. I servied it with a dollop of Greek yogurt over top as the salsa was ‘too spicy’ for my preschoolers, which made it just right for them, and increased the protein too. Cheers, Lisa!
Great tip on the Greek yogurt, Katharine! That sounds delightful!
