Salsa Revival
D
BY DINA CHENEY
espite its jazzy name and vibrant color, the salsa
category has shown a lack of innovative treatments
in recent years. No longer. A new crop of recipes
emphasizes freshness, whether through short, preservativefree ingredient lists or the inclusion of local produce. To
amplify flavors, companies are roasting chiles, tomatoes and
tomatillos. They're also making surprising additions, such as
seeds, fruit, tequila and hotter-than-ever peppers. Whatever
the changeup, these 13 new products are worth a dip.
