Day 223 - Hatch Valley Salsa

TWO THUMBS UP.  This salsa is delicious!!  It is not all that spicy but ohhhh so tasty.  We ate it with blue corn chips (read blue corn chip review here) after coming home from a late night rehearsal.  When I say late, I mean we were sitting on the couch watching “Catfish the TV Show” at 12:30 am chowing down on this salsa…  And we could.  Not.  Stop.  Eating it!

TWO BIG THUMBS UP (jar is larger than it appears here, weird camera angle)
I seriously think I could eat this stuff by the spoonfuls…  It has a good ZIP to it!  Is it vinegar making that zip??  I do not normally eat salsa from a jar – I like the fresh, chunky kind of salsa (review on day 25 of this blog).  But THIS jarred salsa is a y-e-s!  It reminds me of the green salsa at Moe’s (WELCOME TO MOE’S!) which is also crack-like. 

The serving size listed on the jar is laughable.  11 servings???  Give me a break.  I say FOUR servings max.  we ate more than half the jar last night!

This was like, the 4th or 5th time we filled the bowl up and as you can see, it is almost empty again...
It says it has “Fire Roasted Hot Green Chile Peppers from Hatch Valley”.  Well I do not know where hatch valley is, but it deserves to be visited!  (Wait – I turned the jar around and read the other side of the label – Hatch Valley is a village in New Mexico.  And guess what?  It is NOT vinegar that gives it that zip, it is LIME JUICE!  Lime juice and tomatillos.  Yum!

Here is what David thought – FABULOUS!   You just keep eating more and more.  It is mild, but “more-ish”.  It helps you get your daily does of corn chips, which is one of the 5 major food groups (along with coffee, cookies, Pepsi, and Cheetos).  I give it a 4.5

All of this deliciousness for under 3 bucks.  Get a jar.
Yummy yummy yummy














Susan here again.  This salsa is exclusive to Trader Joe’s.  I say it is worth a trip to a TJ’s to pick some up, even if you live in LaJolla and have to park in that crazy ass parking lot!  TRY THIS!

I give this product a 5.  Not a ton of things earn a coveted 5 star rating from me.  David rated it a bit lower, but this is not his blog.  And I am throwing his number o-u-t!  This deserves a 5 and dang it, it is getting a 5!

Price – $2.79
