Are you a fan of salsa?
Around my house, that’s a silly question – we love salsa in any form. During the Summer months, I make my own or I buy the kind that is in the refrigerated section of my supermarket. I’m not always a fan of a canned or jar salsa, because I like the simple flavors of the ingredients and so many jarred salsas are muddied by too many spices and preservatives.
I tried Dei Fratelli All-Natural Salsa for the first time a few weeks ago. They sent me a package of three of thier salsas – Original Mild, Original Medium, and Black Bean n’ Corn Medium. We tried the salsa on chips, quesadillias, burritos, pretzels, and salad. I used half of the Black Bean n’ Corn salsa as the base in a pot of chili (worked great). It’s good salsa, good flavor, good texture.
I try to feed my family fresh vegetables and fruits when possible, but cooked tomatoes are actually higher in the antioxidant lycopene. Lycopene is believed to help fight old age and prevent cancer. You can find Dei Fratelli All-Natural Salsa here.
I know what you meant: lycopene!
Tonight’s recession fighter dinner:
- Spinach tossed with your choice of dressing and topped with rotisserie chicken from the big box store
- Day-old sourdough bread, sliced and toasted. Topped with lycopene mix of chopped ripe tomato combined with diced red onion and garlic, cilantro, a splash each of hot sauce, olive oil and balsamic vinegar and a pinch of salt.
Did I spell it wrong?! I laughed when I read that. I’ll get in there and fix it. You would not believe the drama in the middle of my living room as I sat typing that post out. Living with teenagers can seriously be distracting.
