Trader Joe’s Tuesday: Garlic Chipotle Salsa

Tastes Like:  tangy, peppery, garlicky salsa; thin with small chunks (perfect for scooping!).

Great With:  the usual suspects:  chips, carrots, mushrooms.  But you’d never guess – it’s amazing for dipping with raw broccoli!  The broccoli “hair” catches all the spicy juice and the seasonings offset each other amazingly well!

Perfect For:  parties (pour into a bowl and pretend you made it yourself), spicing up burrito night, and hovering over the kitchen counter shoveling it into your face with baby carrots while moaning with pleasure.

Must Know:  labelled “No Gluten ingredients used” but is made in a facility that also processes wheat – but it’s never aggravated my sensitivities!  Also makes the Trader Joe’s lists for vegetarian AND vegan, as well as low-sodium and fat-free.  What’s not to love?

Costs: 
$2.99  –  which is good because you can afford to buy all that you can
carry home.  Always get two jars, because the first will be gone before
you realize (see above:  hovering over the kitchen counter)
