Delicious Enhancements For Food At Home

Salsa Recipes - Restaurant Style ...
You can cook with confidence and style!

I don’t really know anyone who doesn’t love flavorful salsas to enhance the food they eat. These restaurant salsas add zest to food and make your food very special! They are favorite additions for a variety of foods.

salsa and chips










The Mexican word for "sauce," salsa may be made with a variety of ingredients and may be fresh or cooked.


Mark Bittman, author of "How To Cook Everything: Bittman Takes On America's Chefs," writes that the "most common misunderstanding about these food items is that they are hot." "They are almost always highly seasoned, but there is a big difference.”



Adjusting the heat is a matter of the specific peppers used (if any) in a salsa. And do not use the seeds in the peppers unless you like very hot salsa.



The most commonly known traditional salsas are:

  • Salsa roja (red sauce) is used as a condiment in Mexican and southwestern U.S. cuisine, and usually made with cooked tomatoes, chili peppers, onion, garlic, and fresh cilantro.
  • Salsa cruda (raw sauce) is also known as pico de gallo or salsa fresca. It is made with raw tomatoes, lime juice, chili peppers, onions, cilantro leaves, and other coarsely chopped raw ingredients.
  • Salsa verde (green sauce) is made with tomatillos. Sauces made with tomatillos are usually cooked.
  • Salsa taquera (Taco sauce) is made with tomatillos and morita chilies.
  • Salsa ranchera (ranch-style sauce) is made with tomatoes, various chilies, and spices.
  • Salsa brava (wild sauce) is usually made of a mayonnaise-Tabasco mix.
  • Guacamole is usually any sauce where the main ingredient is avocado.

    Today the variety of salsas is endless. You can use an array of fresh fruits and vegetables to make a variety of salsas. Some recipes result in ones that are fruity, some hot, some smoky, and some sweet and spicy.

    Serve these restaurant style salsas with tortilla chips, quesadillas, tacos, grilled meats, chicken, seafood, and eggs. I also use my restaurant recipes in soups and sauces and as a base for other dips.

    With all the salsas you can make today (or purchase) you can easily create your own culinary delights.

    Homemade or restaurant-made quality salsas are hearty and flavorful and they're healthy too, with little or no fat and no preservatives.

    And fortunately, they're also easy to make. Blenders and food processors significantly cut down on preparation times.

    The other difference between the homemade and some store-bought salsa is shelf-life. Care should be taken in the preparation and storage of salsa because without preservatives, many raw-served varieties can lead to the growth of potentially dangerous bacteria, especially when unrefrigerated.

    I love making my own salsas. I really is great fun. But once in awhile I get caught short of time (and sometimes energy). When I'm in a bind, I often turn to a great family-owned company called Salsa Express.

    Should you find yourself "running behind," give this company an opportunity to show you the over 900 products they stock from salsas, sauces, BBQ sauces, hot sauces, rubs and snacks. Tell 'em Donna from Real-Restaurant-Recipes.com recommended them.

    You can also read more about them by visiting Salsa Express.
