A bold, no-cook salsa that brings the heat. Calabrian chilis, vinegar, olive oil, and a touch of honey-just blend and you're done. Bright, smoky, and dangerously addictive.
Why You'll Love Salsa Roja
It's spicy, smoky, and ready in five minutes-no cooking, no chopping, just blend and go. The flavor hits hard and lingers in the best way.
Tips and Tricks
- Use oil-packed Calabrian chilis for more flavor and smoother texture.
- Add honey gradually if you want to temper the heat without dulling the flavor.
Variations
- Sub red wine vinegar for a punchier finish.
- Add garlic or roasted red pepper for more depth.
Substitutions
- Can't find Calabrian chilis? Try Fresno chilis or chipotle in adobo for a smoky swap.
- Use agave in place of honey for a vegan version.
Best served with
- Grilled meats, eggs, tacos, roasted veggies
- Mixed into sour cream or mayo for a smoky dip or sandwich spread
How to Store Leftovers
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Flavor deepens after a day, so it's even better the next morning.
