There’s something about chopping fresh tomatoes and cilantro that instantly lifts your mood. The kitchen smelled like sunshine; lime, onion, and just the right kick of jalapeño.

The Fresh Tomato Salsa was bright and bold, perfect for scooping straight from the bowl. The Guacamole followed, creamy and cool with enough lime to keep it light and lively. Together, they made the perfect pair; simple, quick, and exactly what a lazy afternoon should taste like.
