Fresh
tomatoes off the vine still warm from the ripening sunshine….onions so sweet
you could bite into them while standing in the garden, and the cilantro and
peppers – oh I wish you were here to smell this. It perks up your senses immediately and kind
of tickles your nose.
To me, fresh
salsa is the taste of summer. We enjoy
it like everyone else, as a dip with chips.
But I also use it in about a gazillion recipes that might surprise you. I use my salsa in burgers and it’s
delicious. The tomatoes, onions and
peppers cook into the hamburger making it moist and flavorful. In the summertime, my family loves grilled
burgers with my salsa at least once a week.
I also add my salsa to chili, meatball sauce, baked beans and even
hamburgers. Be sure to see some of the
recipes on my website, www.laurijos.com. And
for heaven’s sake, tell me how you like to enjoy salsa. Those of us who love food, also like to hear
of new recipes and ideas!
Lauri Jo’s Southern Style Hamburgers
Mix Lauri Jo’s Salsa in ground beef,
shape into patties and grill until well-done.
I like to top with fresh blue-cheese
crumbles or a fresh slice of Vidalia onion and tomato.
You choose your favorite toppings and
have a mouthwatering burger with friends.
