Seductive Salsa

Toss out that drab old store-bought stuff! Salsa is one of America's favorite condiments, and one which Western cooks often make from scratch. This new addition to the Cook West Series will inspire home chefs to create their own zesty homemade salsa from fresh fruits and vegetables spiked with piquant herbs and spices. Any one of these 50
recipes will jazz up a meal with a burst of colors and tastes, ranging from traditional Mexican Salsa Roja and Salsa Verde to the more unusual Grilled Watermelon and Basil Salsa or Cucumber, Melon, and Mint Salsa.

Sassy, spicy salsas to make your taste buds dance.
