Twin Tested: Salsa Competition

Today we kicked off some early Cinco de Mayo festivities at Channel 2. We have some great chefs in the newsroom and wanted to put them to the test! Britt and I are huge salsa fans so deciding on a favorite was hard. Watch the segment HERE. 

Brooke's Pick: Arch's Chopped Salsa
This is a station favorite requested many times throughout the year. Arch uses a food processor to make sure all ingredients are finely chopped. 

6 to 7 Roma Tomatoes

2 Bunches Green Onions

1 Can Whole Tomatoes Strained

5 to 7 Cloves Garlic

1 Bunch Cilantro (use leaves only no stems)

2 to 4 Jalapenos (depending on taste)

1 Tablespoon Salt

¼ Teaspoon Cumin

Britt's Pick: Lindsey's Dirty Bean Salsa
This salsa was made by morning producer Lindsey. It was delicious!! Especially if you love avocado. 

·         1 can black beans

·         1 can black eyed peas

·         2 (14 oz) cans diced tomatoes

·         1 can corn

·         4 green onions (chopped)

·         3 avacadoes (diced small)

·         Chopped fresh cilantro

·         1 pkg good season’s Italian dressing

Open and drain caned ingredients.

Combine all ingredients in a bowl

Make Italian Dressing according to directions, pour over top, and mix well

Season with Salt, Pepper, and Garlic Powder to taste

Runner-up: Melissa's Tostitos Mango Salsa
Our Executive Producer Melissa totally fooled us with this one - you cannot tell that it is store bought!
Of course if you are short on time it's a great option with a sweet mango taste.
