More Salsa Recipe Ideas
Americans typically think of salsa as a dip for tortilla chips, but it is equally as important as a cooking sauce. As such, it can be applied beyond the familiar borders of Mexican and Tex-Mex cooking like pork tacos to create fusion food: a chipotle manicotti and rotini pasta salad with salsa instead of tomato sauce. We’ve appended these three easy recipes below. Check the JardineFoods.com website for more cooking-with-salsa recipes.
When you taste the Jardine salsas, you’ll see how easily they fit in for:
- Breakfast: As a sauce with egg dishes
- Hors d’Oeuvres: On bread rounds with soft cheeses, as a shrimp dip instead of cocktail sauce (especially the fruit salsas), and fruit salsa poured over a brick of cream cheese (instead of pepper jelly) and served as a spread for crackers
- Dinner: A condiment or sauce with grilled beef, roast chicken, seafood, stews
- Sauce: With French fries, over pasta or pizza, potatoes (boiled or baked), rice
- Snacks: Dips for breads and breadsticks, chips, vegetables, a sauce for spicy pizza
- Tex/Mex: Chalupas, enchiladas, fajitas, nachos, quesadillas, tacos, tortillas
As noted earlier, any of the red salsas can be mixed with sour cream, heavy cream or plain yogurt for a delicious, creamy sauce. A creative approach is to serve the salsa half regular, half “creamed”—two sauces from one jar.
