UG, do either of books #2 and 3 on your list have any good salsa recipes?

Steve, I'll have a look for what you asked for -- but ya know, PDG is about my favorite of the salsas itself, tastes fresh and un-messed-with and just bursting with a full complement of vitamins. A fine way to get me to eat my veggies, perhaps because the stuff is really very like a salad. You can dial the heat up or down just as you like, and all that user-friendly stuff.


Some Like It Hotter is notable for lengthy ingredient lists, though too you can also omit some bits if you don't happen to have them handy. Likely I'll find more the salsa kind of thing you're looking for in The Whole Chili Pepper Cookbook.
