Widder, SASS #59054 Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 I like chips and salsa, preferably mild. With winter approaching, I'll find it useful to keep the cupboard amply supplied with both. Who do you think makes the best MILD salsa? ..........Widder

Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Hey! Is that the guy who gets his salsa from....New York???? Santa Barbara Mango Peach Salsa.........yum. LL
Chili Ron Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Howdy, Local mex restaurants have outstanding salsa. But for widely avail I like taco bell medium mixed with heated cheeze. Cheeze optional. Sometimes I chop a few green olives and put those in too. Best CR
Subdeacon Joe Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 I've been a fan of La Victoria for quite a while. Both their Supreme and Thick & Chunky are good. Pace isn't bad. One surprise was the Safeway house brand.
July Smith Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Your mild and my mild might be a little different, but H-E-B carries their own line of salsa. The habanero one is probably some of the best salsa that can be bought.
Yul Lose Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Von’s Triple Roasted Salsa and then Santa Barbara roasted chili salsa. Nothing in a glass jar.

(The largest grocery store chain in Texas, which I think stands for Hispanic Employment Bureau ) My fav is my own concoction. Number 2 would be On the Border (also available at HEB)
Sedalia Dave Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Not available in TX but I liked the Safeway store brand of salsa when I was at Chine Lake.
Pat Riot Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Pace Picante Sauce...made by the good folks in San Antone... If it has to come from a shelf that is the one I like. Oh, almost forgot. If you like green salsa you all have to try “505 Hatch Chili Sauce”. I get it at WalMart. It is the best hatch chili sauce that I have found. Way better than Trader Joe’s sauce.
Goody, SASS #26190 Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 At our house we go through quite a bit of Salsa. The brand most consumed is Albert's. made locally in Kilgore Texas I'm not sure how widely available it is. Comes in 3 different heat ranges from mild to hot.
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 I like On the Border, but I don’t know how widely it is marketed and I confess I have never tried the mild.

Capt. James H. Callahan Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 I rarely buy store bought salsa anymore. It's rarely very good, costs too much, and we end up throwing 80% of it away. I go to a local restaurant and get an order of chips and salsa to go. Usually costs $3-5 and is way better. Most stores will carry some fresh salsa in the refrigerated section which is often pretty good. Of course you can't stock the cupboard or fridge with it, doesn't have much of a shelf life. I like this kind, but it's made in Del Rio Tx, probably won't find it there. JHC

Finagler 6853 Life Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Mmmmmm salsa. I think I will go to the local restaurante for lunch today. In a pinch, I've even stooped to eating Tostitos salsa. It's tolerable.
largo casey #19191 Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 I really like El Pinto Salsa made in Albuquerque,New Mexico.Try it you'll Like it. Largo
Captain Clark Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 La Victoria is a good choice. Its tough choosing just one, as depending on the breeze I can smell the chile packing plant a few miles away. Often we just make our own as we are surrounded by the fields where most of the green and red chile is grown in the USA. { I'm thinking I'll take Ocotillo Annie to lunch in Hatch NM today.... yea the chile capital }
G W Wade Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Life's too short to eat mild boring salsa!! Crank it up!!! GW

Instead of going to Hatch for lunch I made green chile stew today while the wife went to town. When she got home we sliced some Acoma bread [Fresh from Gallup on Sunday} and toasted it to go alongside. YUM YUM ! that's something that you either get or wish you did.

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted October 11, 2018 Author Posted October 11, 2018 Lots of good suggestions. Thanks Pards. And...I'm glad I put 'a cravin' on some of you..... ..........Widder
Ramblin Gambler Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 I make the best, but you said mild. I could give ya the recipe anyway and you can just use fewer peppers. Before I found a good recipe, I'd get a quart of it every week from my favorite mexican restaurant.
Chili Ron Posted November 11, 2018 Posted November 11, 2018 Howdy, I got some taco bell salsa in jars in the grocery. It just looked kinda good. No real reason. Surprise it was tasty. Give it a try if you don't like it, you aint out much. Best CR ps= it might have been on sail...…?
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted November 11, 2018 Posted November 11, 2018 I rather fancy "Newman's Own Salsa" I use the "Mild" quite a lot.
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted November 11, 2018 Posted November 11, 2018 For eating with chips I like the chunkier fresh salsa on the milder side. To put on food I want it much hotter, not severe, and it can be finer or more of a hot sauce.

I make sure I visit when I go to that fine border town.

Folks outside NM talking about salsa is like us debating who makes the best pastrami in NYC. Sadies is anything but mild. My favorite salsa is made from vegetables fresh-picked from my garden. Roma tomatoes, fresh scallions, cilantro, fresh crushed garlic and fire-roasted green chile - all thrown in a blender, coarse chopped then eaten the same day made. The canning process destroys many of the subtle flavors of fresh picked ingredients. My wife likes mango/peach salsa that lacks spiciness.
punxsutawneypete Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 My brother, at least that was the opinion of the State of North Carolina in 2006. We represented NC at the International Chili Society World Championship in the Salsa Division.
Chili Pepper Kid, SASS #60463 Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 I make my own Salsa (canning) and have won several blue ribbons at the Iowa State Fair. Cookies BBQ https://www.cookiesbbq.com/products/ has the rights to my recipe. They make a ok Salsa but it doesn't taste the same as my home made.
