Monotone salsas, like this orange-colored salsa, are especially beautiful but can be particularly challenging to find the perfect balance of flavors. This recipe uses several unique ingredients including golden tomatoes, jicama, carrots, and Manzano peppers to achieve a unique fruity flavored, spicy salsa.
