We’re grilling up some green beans this time to make some wicked awesome pico.

We love making salsa with unconventional veggies because they’re so dang versatile. Yes, yes, you can always eat salsa with chips. There’s always that. And it’s such a great way to be creative and get different veggies in there. Sky’s the limit!
