Product Description

Believe it or not, salsa beats ketchup as the number 1 condiment. It’s number 1 for flavor, variety, and spice, too. And salsas are fast and easy to make at home. Nueva Salsa offers over 60 irresistible ways to get those taste buds dancing, from traditional, tomato-based versions such as Roasted Poblano Chiles, Tomato and Avocado to Asian-inspired salsas such as Kimchee and Mango. Ingredients like wasabi, guava, and manchego cheese are now easily found in local markets and create new and unusual salsa sensations. In the sweet not heat department, there’s decadent Dulce de Leche Fruit Salsa and fruity Three Berry Aguardiente, the perfect complement to a savory entrée, buttery shortbread, or a good old bowl of vanilla ice cream. It only takes a few minutes to add that little chispa—spark— to any dish, or turn ordinary tortilla chips into a uniquely tasty treat with Nueva Salsa, the next wave in salsa flavor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Cookbook for Healthy Recipes, December 28, 2005

By	Brad (Illinois) - See all my reviews

This is an outstanding cookbook for healthy recipes. Many of the salsas in this book can easily be used to top baked fish (like talapia) or grilled chicken breasts. I have high cholesterol so I have to watch what I eat. This book shows that by mixiing fresh ingredients and a few spices, you can make a nice salsa to spice up your everyday foods.
