I love fresh salsa, so I usually make my own, or buy it at my favorite local Mexican restaurant. I love salsas with cilantro in them, so I was pleasantly surprised when I tasted this salsa and I could taste the fresh cilantro. It is actually one of the best salsas I’ve ever tasted.

Wholly Salsa comes in mild (which still has a little kick), medium, and hot. It’s a fresh salsa so you’ll find it in the produce, or refrigerator aisle at the grocery store.

I’m sweet talking Wholly Guacamole into doing a giveaway here at She Knows Parties so a couple readers can give this salsa a try. Stay tuned Monday…
