Hey, Alisha. I love your recipes! I see spinach pictured with the other ingredients, but I don’t see it in the actual recipe. Did I miss it somewhere? How much do we need for the salsa?
LauraU says
I don’t see any spinach…? 🤔
Alisha Hughes says
Oh dear! I am so sorry. That was supposed to be cilantro, and I have no idea how I missed it in the ingredients. (sigh) I updated the post. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Alisha Hughes says
Thank you, Tracy. No, you definitely did not miss it… I did. My apologies. It’s actually cilantro and you will need 2 tablespoons, more or less, according to your taste. I have updated the post. So sorry about that! Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
