We eat a lot of salsa and making it fresh is always best. Most of the time we make it the traditional way, however this time we tried Fresh Orange Salsa and paired it with Herb Rubbed Roast Beef. This was truly a delicious meal so I decided that I’m going to share both of the recipes with you today. Using oranges in place of tomatoes in this salsa creates a sweeter topping that perfectly complements the herb-lathered goodness of this simple roast.
