Banana Salsa
– many surprises –


Upon seeing the name of the salsa is very probable that you think that it consists of a sweet salsa that is used to accompany desserts or candies. But as it consists of a Mexican salsa there are many surprises... in fact the salsa is salty and spicy; believe it or not is a delicious combination when the banana is involved.

 The salsa is also full of color because many contrasting ingredients are used and the next surprise that offers is that all the ingredients are cut into small chunks – a concept that reminds us of the pico de gallo.



In a very short time you will have on your table a fresh and very aromatic salsa. We recommend using it in light dishes like on some vegetables, on a chicken breast, on some tostadas , etc. It is a salsa that will give a turn to your dishes and your food will never taste the same.
