1. My salsa base typically is tomatoes and onions. You can use mangoes, peaches, green peppers, cucumbers, etc. but I am more of a basic salsa man being from the Midwest and all. For flavoring I use a fresh squeezed lime stolen from my neighbor’s tree, cilantro from the garden, a jalapeno pepper (vary amount you add by how spicy you want it), a minced garlic clove, a pinch of chili powder, and garlic salt.

2. The store sells packets of salsa powder. I’m fairly sure if you lined up the salsa recipe above with the powder you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference so it only comes down to how much time you have.
