Cat on the laptop…

Casa Lindra doesn’t appear to have a website ☹ , but one observation I’ve made over the years is that a sign of good salsa, imho, is the liberal use of fresh-chopped cilantro.

Yeah… I like their roasted corn black bean and pepper salsa. There’s one that used to be called Pueblo Salsa that I liked when I lived in Pueblo - a nice fire roasted flavor. I don’t know if you can still get it now, nor if they ship.

I made a salsa last night consisting of chopped up Crenshaw melon, tomatoes, basil leaves, lime juice and salt & pepper. I served it on top of grilled salmon. Really yummy!

BTW, most of Bayless’s salsas don’t have any vinegar. There are several that do use chicken broth 😕 as a base, however.

I’m fond of D.L.Jardine’s Peach Salsa, sweet with a kick. I make my own standard tomato salsa.

Anyone recomend another peach salsa in prefference to D.L.Jardine’s ?
