A friend asked me a while ago if I had ever made salsa from THRIVE ingredients. Well I had not. So I got to work. I found a recipe in an old extension publication for Salsa Mix in a Jar. I thought it was a good idea but I was not happy with the end product. I experimented a little and came up with a recipe I like better. If you like the chunky style but want a spicier salsa try adding more mix with the can of Mexican tomatoes. When making it is best if you make it and refrigerate it for a couple of hours or overnight before eating, it lets the flavors develop a little.
Salsa Mix in a Jar
1 teaspoon garlic powder (more to taste)
1/2 cup THRIVE freeze dried onion
2 Tablespoons THRIVE dried mixed bell peppers
½ Cup THRIVE tomato powder
2 Tablespoons dried red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon pepper
Measure all into jam jar or ziploc bag, seal & shake to combine.
