Preparation
Chef’s notes
Mexican oregano is widely available in the spice section of most large supermarkets (it is part of the McCormick Gourmet line). Note that it is not the same as regular oregano. If you can't find it, marjoram makes a better substitute than regular oregano.
The salsa will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
