tasty things to add to salsa?

Question

i have some store bought pace salsa, what could i add to it to make it tastier (i have chips already for all you smart asses)

Answer 1

6 cups chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup scallions, minced
1 cup FRESH cilantro, chopped, no stems
6-8 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup chopped FRESH oregano
2 tablespoons Jalapeno pepper, minced (more if your taste buds can handle it)
1 red pepper, chopped
2 yellow peppers, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons FRESH lime juice
Salt and Pepper to taste

Lots of prep work for making this dish. In fact it's all about prepping the ingredients and that's the way you should approach it. Yes, you can make it easy by throwing ingredients into the food processor and it will still taste great but you will loose a lot of the texture.

If you have the time, savor the process and chop up most of the ingredients by hand. You may even find you like the repetitive action of cutting and dicing. I find it very relaxing when I'm stressed out. If you must use a food processor to save time, at least cut up the tomatoes by hand.

Try to use the freshest, ripest tomatoes you can find. It will make a big difference to the final taste. What if you wanted to make Honus's Salsa in the middle of the winter and the tomatoes looks awful. You can always use chopped canned tomatoes in a pinch and it will still be good but not AS good.

Chop up the tomatoes and mince the scallions. If you can't find scallions, you can substitute fresh onion. Mince the garlic and chop up the oregano. Be careful with the Jalapeno pepper. You'll want to wash your hands after handling it so not to take a chance of rubbing any in your eyes.

Split the pepper in half and clean out the seeds and membrane and then chop into small pieces.

Once all the ingredients are prepped, add them to a large bowl and stir gently until well combined. Cover, and refrigerate for at least one hour.

Answer 2

there is a dip that u can make where u add a layer of cream cheese on the bottom then a layer of salsa in the middle and then a layer of cheese on top, (usually the kind that is already shredded) you put it in the oven for about 15 mins ( or until the cheese melts all the way) and use tortilla scoop chips to eat it, its sooooooooo good and really easy.

Answer 3

What kind of chips?

Add some Spaghetti cheese to the salsa.

Answer 4

If it doesn't have it already, add some chopped cilantro. It's got a bold flavor but tastes soooo good in stuff.

You can also add some melted velveeta cheese to make it a con queso dip too.

Answer 5

Try mixing it with Mexican Velveeta and a dab of hot sauce. Makes an excellent party dip.

(You slice the Velveeta into cubes, and microwave it, mixed with the salsa and hot sauce for about 3 minutes COVERED. Stir it every minute.)

Very tasty!

Answer 6

I would consider chopping up green onions and adding fresh garlic or garlic powder. Fresh chopped tomato and cilantro and fresh squeezed lime juice will also be an improvement.

Answer 7

I always add tobasco, it gives it a nice flavor.
Louisiana hot sauce is also excellent for adding taste - not too hot but a great taste !

Answer 8

Home-grown herbs to add flavor, and home-grown tomatoes because they are the best thing in the world.

Answer 9

Unlimited possibilities here.....Olives,cheese,favorite vegetables(even something like green beans or asparagus) ,left over meats like ham or beef.Let your imagination go nuts!♥

Answer 10
