Delicious Salsas from Salsa God With a name like Salsa God, you can rest as- sured that its line of restaurant-style salsas is as fresh and tasty as the name is bold and provocative. Founded in 2014, Salsa God's mission is and has always been to bring the fresh, authentic flavors of salsas found at Mexican restaurants to your local grocery store or specialty food store shelves. Fresh, amazing ingredients are the starting point for Salsa God's salsas. It uses only the simplest, best ingredients for its delicious sal- sas. The company takes its salsas seriously. That means it uses lime juice instead of vine- gar. It uses fresh herbs. It doesn't water its product down. Looking for something sweet? You'll never find any added sugars in Salsa God salsas. Like gum? You won't find guar, xanthan, locust bean or any other type of gum in its salsas. That's because it likes nature and natural foods. Onions? No gracias! Salsa God is a new and emerging brand with the passion, energy and fire to reinvig- orate your taste buds! Whether it's fire- roasted tomatoes or tangy tomatillos, hot jalapeños or herbalicious cilantro, Salsa God has a salsa for you! It currently makes a Fire Roasted Red Salsa with fire-roasted tomatoes in Medium and in Hot, a classic Salsa Verde in Medium and a salsa verde with dill called Dill-icious Verde Salsa in Medium. Its Dill-icious Verde Salsa is a truly unique product and was a happy mistake. A very sleep deprived Co-Founder was making a batch of salsa verde for his wife to take to work with her, and accidentally used dill instead of cilantro. The result was Dill-icious! With four amazing salsas, Salsa God is sure to be a hit! Salsa God's Fire Roasted Red Salsa (available in Medium and Hot) delivers a rich, smoky flavor from the fire- roasted tomatoes. Its classic Salsa Verde is tangy and fresh and can be used as a salsa, as a starter for guacamole or as a cooking sauce for enchiladas, chicken, eggs, steak, shrimp – you name it. Finally, Salsa God's Dill-icous Verde Salsa is the only salsa on the market with dill. It works fantastically with seafood or on its own with chips. Taste Salsa God salsas for yourself! Bring some to your next party, and be a Salsa God! Salsa God Salsas are proudly Made in America.
