Terry's Original Instant Salsa Mix

Terry's Original Instant Salsa Mix.

I've been testing a recipe for a mix that creates an instant Salsa.

This recipe makes   1 -  14.5 oz. can of Diced Tomatoes. ( you can break up the chunks a bit with an Immersion Blender) if you prefer it to be less chunky, or you can use a can of Crushed Tomatoes. It's for a small crowd, make the day of a party and refrigerate it for a few hours.

I consider this mix to be Medium Heat but you have to consider that I live in Texas and we love Spicy foods. If you're not used to the heat I would start with 1/4 C of Red Chile flakes instead of
1/2 C.

If you prefer a less Chunky Salsa, use Crushed Tomatoes.

Terry's Original Instant Salsa Mix

Here's what you'll need for 1 recipe of Salsa:
1- 14.5 oz. can of Diced Tomatoes
1 or 2 TBS of the Mix.
I pour the Tomatoes in a Canning Jar add the Mix and Shake well.
Refrigerate it for at least an hour.
Stir well prior to Serving.

Mix the following ingredients in a Jar and store at room temperature.

Instant Salsa Mix:
3 TBS Dried Cilantro Flakes
2 TBS Dried Minced Garlic  (not powder)
1 TBS Dried Minced Onion (not powder)
1 TBS Dried Parsley (not powder)
1/2 C Red Chile Pepper Flakes
2 TBS Canning Salt (no other substitute, it has to be Canning Salt)
1 TBS Adobo Seasoning




NOTE:
We're in France for the summer and we just had Pizza at the house in Provence.
I brought some of this Salsa Mix and one of the family members sprinkled it on the
Pizza and it's really good. We all ended up doing that.
Just another way to enjoy it.
You can also mix some in a jar of Peach or Strawberry Preserves and serve over a
block of Cream Cheese or Warm Brie with crackers.

I increased the recipe to make a larger amount to share with friends.
This is the amount that I always have available.

3/4 C Dried Cilantro Flakes
1/2 C Dried Minced Garlic, not powder.
1/4 C Dried Minced Onions, not powder.
3 TBS Dried Parsley
2 C Red Chile Pepper Flakes
1/2 C Canning Salt, no other substitute can be used.
1/4 C Adobo Seasoning.

Mix well and store at room temperature in an airtight jar. Prepare the Salsa according to the recipe above.

Here are some examples of other ways you can use the Mix:

I reccomend  1 TBS for the following recipes, but if you like Hot, you can always add additional.

1. Add 1 TBS to 2 C of Sour Cream for a Dip.
2. Add 1 TBS to a Jar of Peach Preserves or Strawberry Preserves.
3. Add 1 TBS to prepared Guacamole.
4. Add 1 TBS to a Can of Whole Cranberries.
5. Add 1 TBS to a Can of Beans.
6. Add 1 TBS to a Box of Jiffy Mix Cornbread.
7. Add 1 TBS to Scrambled Eggs. (Add it to 2 TBS of Milk and allow it to Hydrate the Mix and then add it to the Eggs.)

8. Sprinkle it on your favorite Pasta Dish. 


Enjoy!
Peace in the Kitchen!
