Authentic Arizona Salsa Verde

Southwest Arizona is known as "America's winter salad bowl." While much of the country is experiencing cold weather and snow, farms around Yuma ship lettuce to the rest of the country. Good thing! This delicious salsa calls for two cups of the green stuff - and thanks to Arizona, you can enjoy it all year.
