    Frequently asked Questions

    Q: Can I use canned tomatoes for salsa?

    A: Yes, you can replace the fresh tomatoes with canned tomatoes. We have done that plenty of times with no problem. Make sure to get whole canned tomatoes for roasting. If you can not find whole tomatoes simply use leave out that part and use them for the salsa as they are.

    Q: Can I roast my tomatoes on the grill?

    A: You can absolutely do that. Roasting your tomatoes on the grill actually gives them a nice charred taste that is perfect for this salsa.
