Mom Salsa is the mild one in our salsa collection, and it won the Kids’ Choice Award for good reason. It has plenty of flavor without asking everyone at the table to agree on how hot salsa should be. Put extra peppers or hot sauce on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
Serve it with tortilla chips, spoon it onto scrambled eggs, or add it to quesadillas, chicken, rice and beans, or crunchy vegetable sticks. A container of salsa can turn several odds and ends in the fridge into a perfectly respectable snack.
Our salsa recipe collection is made up of award-winning originals.
