My family was mesmerized by this magical salsa! You can use it as a dip or sauce. And, it keeps fresh for 3 days (maybe more). During the Plant-Forward Cooking Boot Camp I participated in at The Culinary Institute of America, we made it to go with Barbecued Jackfruit Tacos. The tacos were super spicy, so this salsa served to cool them down. I brought home leftovers and we ate it with grilled chicken and as a salsa for breakfast tacos. Delish!
