Everybody loves salsa! Did you know that it is the #1 condiment in the United States? It's hard to believe it has beat out that good ‘ol standard ketchup.

If you're looking to put an interesting spin on your salsa, try this sweet and spicy Cranberry Salsa Recipe. You can choose how spicy you want it to be by increasing or decreasing the amount of jalapeño you use. (I have turned into a bit of a spice wimp as I get older!)

This unique salsa recipe also adds a bunch of extra flavor to a chicken quesadilla – super yummy! If it IS right after Thanksgiving you can make a leftover turkey quesadilla and spice it up with the salsa.
