Cooking Tip

Dried Red Hot Pepper Flakes

As a last resort, you can heat up a mild salsa with red pepper flakes. To be effective, allow the salsa to mingle for a awhile and draw out some of the heat from the dry flakes.

Cooking Tip

Choosing Peppers

When buying peppers for salsas, whether hot or sweet, the skins should be tight and generally shiny. The pepper should look fresh and healthy.
