Who says salsa has to have Latin or Mexican flare? This tomato salsa has a Mediterranean flare due to the kalamata olives, oregano, parsley and red wine vinegar. This salsa really wakes up your taste buds thanks to the kalamata olives. You can also use pork, fish and even beef in this recipe and the meal will still be delicious.
