TIPical Mary Ellen : Episode TIP-359 -- More Projects »
Cooking expert Heather Jansz explains how to prepare salsa.
  • The three most important ingredients in salsa are tomatoes, chili peppers and spices. The four main spices used in salsa are salt, garlic, cilantro and onion. Tomatoes and peppers are both high in vitamins A and C.

  • If you're using dried herbs instead of fresh, be sure to revive them before mixing them in. To do this, just squeeze some lemon juice over the herbs, and add some fresh onion. Wait approximately 15 minutes and you're ready to go.

  • Use salsa as a marinade or as a sauce for fish and chicken.

  • A dab of fruit jelly can be added to salsa to sweeten it up a bit.

  • Be sure to chop cilantro very finely so that the flavors blend with the rest of the ingredients.
