Marielena's Salsa

This recipe is near and dear to me because I learned it from someone who I consider family. I would always enjoy eating this salsa at our family get togethers, and the taste became engraved in my memories. I loved it so much that I finally asked for the recipe instead of waiting for the next get together. I added a twist: I use roasted instead of raw vegetables to bring out the flavor much more for a unique, delicious salsa recipe that is perfect for that family party. I love how food brings family and friends together, lives on for generations, and continues to bring us together long after it was created. This is a simple recipe chock full of memories of family gatherings and love.
