Why does all store bought salsa suck absolute a$$

[BlIIlken2]

You can go to a Mexican restaurant in Podunksville, Iowa and get incredible salsa yet everything that is on grocery stores is just straight trash. Why damnit?!

 

[Moral]

Because I can't handle anything that is spicier than a Mt Dew.

Yeah. Store bought fresh salsa generally sucks. I assume because of preservatives.

 

[coldbud1994]

I think because it’s generally mushy. Fresh salsa has a brighter flavor and better texture

Shelf stability.

Legit question.

Fly the bus to meijico db cooper style and get some salsa fresca

When I shopped at HyVee they had a black bean salsa that was my favorite salsa of all time.

 

[Thefunksouljon]

Then enjoy your **** salsa.

Make your own

 

[Wobmam Rulez!]

Plenty of authentic grocery stores here. Problem is, most are way too spicy for our gringo palate.

 

[bagdropper]

Ahh, I remember the good ol' days when I could eat chips and salsa.

I mean, I can eat them. It's just a bad idea to do so. Diverticulitis sucks...

Cheryl's out of Wellman, Iowa is pretty damn good. She makes a good queso as well.

Looks great.
Wonder how long you can keep it refrigerated.

 

[QChawks]

major first problem that has bothered me for years

I love mexican food and part of the reason I take the family nearly once a week is because of this issue

 

[Gibbs_dontbanmetom]

I’d agree that generally Mexican restaurant salsa is much better. Unless they make it with too much tomatoes. Any salsa that you can clearly taste the tomato is clear garbage. Same goes for cilantro, do not all too much or it is all you will taste.

Salsa is best prepared absolutely fresh, knife only, and consumed immediately,.... That's the difference.

Knife only? Not looking to liquify it, but nothing wrong with a few pulses in the food processor.

As much as I kill hyvee, their fresh hot salsa they sell (not sure on brand) is good IMO.

Very cheap at Costco, and pretty good.

Might try this a throw in a jalapeño. Thanks for sharing!

Honestly can’t go wrong with any recipe that Mike posts on Chili Pepper Madness.

I see that at Costco. Is it good?

I used to get their organic salsa in the refrigerated section. Great taste. But I haven't seen it recently. They have a new refrigerated version that I'll probably try but it looks like less salsa for more money and isn't organic.

For me it's the salt. I love salt, but it doesn't love me. I still get chips too often, but I need to stop.

I bet ol' rifler thinks French onion dip is spicy.

There's a 100% probability of that.

I don't indulge in chemically flavored dips,... For salsa, jalapenos and habaneros are my favorite peppers, with the occasional ghost tossed in when some extra kick is desired.
