Making salsa does not get any easier than this recipe. If you are not a cook, then this recipe is totally for you! Chop and mix…That’s it! This salsa might be time intensive with all the fine dicing but the combination of fresh ingredients is worth every minute.
For those of you who are leery of mushrooms…Let me tell you a little story. I have a friend who can’t stand mushrooms and she was shocked when she tasted this salsa. She LOVED it and I’m sure you and your friends will too.

How to Clean Mushrooms

My daughter hates mushrooms and we had this at our favorite restaurant as a treat from our waiter. She loves it! Asks fir it all the time .
Due to a bad chilhood experience, the texture of mushrooms makes me gag. A bowl of this was placed in front of me at a mexican restaurant. I’m up for trying anything once… at worst I would have to spit it in my napkin, right? I loved it! Maybe it was the chrunch if corn chips hidding the texture, but I didn’t even notice the mushrooms. I recomend anyone who hates mushrooms try this at least once.
Can’t wait to try this!!! Love salsa of any kind!
I am so making this recipe this weekend.
I will do this one ASAP 😉
I have never heard of a salsa with mushrooms. My husband can eat mushrooms in anything — I’ll have to make this for him. I bet it would be great on a baked potato.
