Rehabilitating Salsa

That stuff on the store shelf at your local grocer labeled salsa – I don’t care if it’s from New York City or El Paso, Texas – is not real Salsa. The red stuff in these jars are nothing more than over-processed tomato paste with a hint of pepper-like heat. After adding a few chemicals, so-called natural flavors (generated in a laboratory), and preservatives, nothing remains of the soul and flavor of the real deal: Salsa. It’s time to rehabilitate Salsa with real ingredients to create an exciting fiesta for your mouth.
