Salsa Fresca is good on almost anything… Any day of the week 😉 This recipe features colorful veggies, fragrant spices, and cheesy chicken. If that doesn’t sound good, you’re probably not going to enjoy this recipe, or this blog in its entirety if I’m honest. Recipe inspired by and adapted from Eatwell101.
