What are ways to eat salsa without chips?
Tortilla chips are merely the gateway drug to salsa. “Salsa” means “sauce,” and that’s the best way to think about this delicious, versatile condiment. If we’re talking about an unconventional guide to salsa, we need to think about outside of the normal chips-and-salsa box. Salsas—especially creative salsas like our incendiary Original X-Hot Salsa—make excellent bases for marinades, BBQ bastes, and coatings for jerky. Consider the salsa-of-unique-ingredients as an accent to your savory adult beverages. A dollop of Pepper Palace fruit salsa into your Bloody Mary may become a thing of legend.
