Best Southwest Chicken Burgers With Sweet Corn Salsa Recipes

MILD SWEET SALSA

Mild Sweet Salsa image

I always like blazing salsas. That's just me. But when it comes to my daughter, or my family and guests, I need to have something for those who don't like pure fire. This is one of the salsas I use then. One thing I like about this one, is that the flavoring is a bit fresher and not as typical of the mild salsas that taste like diced tomatoes. I think the basil is the secret weapon- it has a little bite, but it is cool to the taste. Whatever it is, everyone seems to like it!
