Salsa Party, Anyone?
We love a bowl of salsa because it can turn a few ordinary things into a proper snack or meal. Put it next to eggs, quesadillas, chicken, rice, beans, or a plate of cut vegetables and everyone can help themselves.
These are three of our original salsa recipes. One is mild and kid-approved, one is green and bright with tomatillos, and one gets deeper flavor from roasting the vegetables first. Adjust the peppers to suit your household. There is no prize for making salsa hotter than anyone wants to eat.
Our salsa recipe collection is made up of award-winning originals.
Go Beyond the Tortilla Chip
Tortilla chips are excellent, obviously. Salsa is also very good with:
- Carrot, celery, cucumber, or jicama sticks
- Quesadilla strips
- Scrambled or fried eggs
- Chicken
- Rice and beans
- Avocado toast
Choose Your Salsa
Start with Mom Salsa when you want something mild and broadly appealing. Try the Green Machine Tomatillo Salsa for a fresh, tart green salsa. Make the Roasted Sweet & Spicy Salsa when you have time to let the oven do some of the work and want a richer flavor.
If you are cooking for another family, keep extra peppers or hot sauce on the side. It is much easier to add heat than to remove it.
Salsa Recipes
Bringing Salsa to a New Family
Use a leakproof container and label it with the recipe name, date, and heat level. Bring chips, vegetables, or other things for dipping separately so everything stays crisp.
Listen While You Chop
While you chop the tomatoes, peppers, and herbs, listen to Early Family Communication Starts Before Your Baby Can Talk. Dinalynn Rosenbush shares simple ways families can build connection through everyday routines, repetition, tone, and play.
