Homemade Salsa Recipe

Homemade Salsa Recipe

Spaniards conquered Mexico between 519-1521.
For the first time they came across tomatoes and salsa originated.

Initially, tomatoes were combined with chili peppers, ground squash seeds and consumed as a condiment. But by the turn of the 19th century, salsa began expanding nationwide.
The increasing popularity for salsa was attributed, to the fondness for spicy foods in America. Scondly, being low in calories, and high in vitamins and fibre, it was perceived as a health food.

Charles E. Erath of New Orleans became the first in salsa manufacturing.
Some of the best sauces ever produced in the history of salsa are
Jose Goldstein Artichoke Garlic Salsa
La Paloma Hot Salsa and La Paloma Mild Salsa.
