Italian style salsa is a kesukaane in our home. Being I am a huge fan of salsa but not with onion in it, this is my version of a garlic salsa. You can add anything you like to your dipping salsa vegetable wise keeping it chunky.
I just love fresh herbs that enhances this salsa. It's bursting with freshness from the garden. We are so lucky to have fresh produce in abundance all year long in Florida. This is just the perfect appetizer salsa to spread on top of tortilla, garlic bread, crackers and pita bread points toasted. You can also use fresh sliced vegetables instead of crackers for a low carb treat! Let's get this recipe started for our Italian salsa!
The tomatoes are straight from the garden, basil, parsley grown outside on the front porch and peppers and garlic from the side of the road stands we have all over the state in Florida.
Dad use to have an awesome garden, everything was fresh and had a taste I have never been able to find through the years here in Florida.
But lucky for us we have an abundance that does grow all year long to be able to eat this great appetizer or snack.
Allow at least two hours in refrigerated until serving. To enhance even more flavor add some really good grade olive oil before serving around 2 tablespoons stir and enjoy!

Place everything in a food processor and pulse until you reach your desired consistency, I like to keep it medium in small pieces. We like ours chunky.
Pour into a container and season to your taste if you need more salt, pepper or heat from the cayenne.
