Atta way to go, Nancyruhl. My secret salsa ingredient is also Mrs. Wages medium salsa mix. It just makes the recipes sooooo much easier.
After gathering all the ingredients, you can puree to go for salsa verde or add in some crunch to get a "chunky" salsa for dipping. The mix and its recipe says it makes 5 pints. I usually make more like 5 or 6 quarts with the one mix. This gives me a salsa that even the folks who say "NO HEAT" can enjoy. I can even split the recipe and make some a bit hotter for the pepperheads.
When I first took some salsa to the frequent family gatherings, I took a half pint for tasting. It went over so well, that I was "told" to bring a larger container next time. Now, for the dozen and a half folks who always show up, it's a quart for the folks that don't like a lot of fire and a pint of the hotter stuff for the pepperheads and the adventurists.
