I'm not a big fan of spicy or hot food. I order everything mild and I pick out all the peppers from my vietnamese sandwichess. My brother and sister are the same way. So for us to shovel in chips and hot salsa nonstop for half an hour is rare. Oooooh but this is no ordinary salsa! I was fanning my mouth (yeah like that helps) and each scoop felt like hot lava burning my taste buds. But I couldn't stop.
Salsa La Gloria is made by Bay Area-based Fernandez Specialty Foods. We got our Salsa La Gloria experience from the Santana Row Farmers Market in San Jose. It's nice because you get to try the salsas before you buy them. I love farmers markets. :)
My favorite one is the one with tomatillo, avocado, lime and garlic. I'm sure there was something else in there because my mouth was on fire, but it was soooo tasty. With every bite, you'd get a kick of salt, lime, creamy avocado and molten hot lava. So many layers! Then I would alternate with the salsa made with cucumbers. It was a very refreshing experience. For luxurious breakfasts, I like to put the cucumber salsa on creamy scrambled eggs and eat it with hot buttered tortillas and super sweet little grape tomatoes. If you've never had homemade salsa before, and even if you have, you should get your hands on Salsa La Gloria.
