Spanish Salsa

We love salsas and are always looking to experiment with something a little bit different and off the beaten path - at least for our taste buds!

This Spanish Salsa takes the zesty kick of lemon and thyme along with the subtle heat of a fresh jalapeno and perfectly balances with green olives and tomatoes for a flavorful compliment to fish or chicken. We paired this salsa with our Manzanillo Grilled Shrimp and black beans for a dish that was not your 'taco and burrito' typical recipe.

This Spanish Salsa is very low in cholesterol and is a good source of Vitamins A, B6 and Manganese. Also a very good source of Vitamins C and K. The Glycemic Load is 3.
