Book Description

REVISED OCTOBER 2012 to include METRIC weights and measures as well as American Standard measuresSalsa is defined by The Free Dictionary as "A spicy sauce of chopped, usually uncooked, vegetables or fruit, especially tomatoes, onions, and chili peppers."Salsa is one of the most enjoyable foods today, and goes with just about any dish you can serve. It's great with tortilla chips, of course, but also makes a wonderful accompaniment with grilled foods, beef, fish, chicken, pork, and as a side dish.In this ebook I've included 80 delicious recipes. I focused on those that use only fresh ingredients, usually fruits and vegetables you can find at your local Farmer's Market, but I've also included a selection of recipes that have some cooking required, or that use canned or bottled products.Some or the recipes under the Fresh Salsa section include Pico de Gallo, Fresh Tomatillo Salsa, Avocado Corn Salsa, Pumpkin Seed Salsa, Moroccan Fresh Tomato Salsa, and Green Tomato Salsa.Under the section that includes salsas that have to be cooked, or include canned or bottled ingredients, I've given you Black Bean Salsa, Charred Tomato Mint Salsa, Grilled Pineapple and Mango Salsa, and Tangy Tomatillo Cumin Salsa, among others..In the Fruit Salsa section, some of the selections are Mango Salsa, Cherry Salsa, Kiwi Serrano Salsa, Hawaiian Mango Salsa, Green Papaya Salsa, and Peach and Mango Salsa.Not all 80 recipes are for salsas. I couldn't resist a small section (just 16 recipes) that I love and that go well when accompanied by salsa. In this section you will find a great recipe for Flour Tortillas, Indian Fry Bread, three great Guacamole Recipes, Hot Pepper Jelly, Pickled Jalapeno Pepper Slices, and Taco Seasoning. That just part of the list.
