Escamoles Salsa

By

Matt Sulem

They might look like little grains of rice, but these small white ovals are actually ant eggs — or, more accurately, ant larvae. And you don’t need to go very far to get them either (I’m sure you’re very relieved at this fact), as this has been a popular ingredient in Mexican dishes for thousands of years. Also called “insect caviar” or escamol when south of the border, this dish has a slightly nutty and buttery flavor (especially when cooked in butter), and can become crunchy when fried. The escamoles are then eaten by themselves, or added to tacos, omelettes, or salsa (also called "Mexican caviar") like this.This recipe is courtesy of Mexican Authentic Recipes.

Applesauce Salsa

By

Soni Satpathy

Applesauce. Good. Salsa. Good. Applesauce salsa? Great! Although you can use homemade applesauce, store-bought, chunky applesauce makes this recipe easy to recreate. There's nothing wrong with traditional tomato based salsas. However, applesauce salsa delivers an exciting alternative. The sweet and tangy flavor profile pairs well with dishes like pork tostadas or roast.

Truthfully, this recipe was created out of a desire to use bacon in a salsa. The first thing that came to mind? Don't ask why, but it was Cobb salad. Dropping the traditional cheese and hard-boiled egg, this fresh, chunky salsa is great with chips or over grilled chicken.
