I’ve written a bit about salsas, and butternut squash, too. But never would I have thought about combining the two. That is until I visited Tocabe: A Native American Eatery here in Denver. My lunch was at the Greenwood Village location, which I enjoyed a couple months back with a few food blogging friends. I… Continue reading A Native-Inspired Butternut Squash Salsa

Black Bean and Bacon Salsa
Salsa: the Spanish word for fresh or cooked sauce. By my definition, it means delicious dip. Salsa is arguably one of the most popular of all appetizers, not to mention one of the easiest dips to make. Chop up your favorites and toss it in a bowl with seasonings and voila…a bowl of goodness. Most… Continue reading Black Bean and Bacon Salsa
White Trash Dip. So Wrong, Yet So Right.
It’s true. White trash dip is a dumb name for a dip. I tried to find the source of its naming, but all I found were other blog posts that talked about how dumb of a name this is. So, I guess it’s settled. White trash dip is dumb…or is it? If done right, white… Continue reading White Trash Dip. So Wrong, Yet So Right.
Quick and Savory Christmas Dips
This picture is of me and my husband, Jason, in Singapore about three years ago. It has nothing to do with sauce or this post. Well, except for that fact that WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS! Thank you for visiting the Saucy Dipper and for leaving comments when you feel up to it. Now,… Continue reading Quick and Savory Christmas Dips
Pineapple Salsa Dip. The End.
It’s been a fun month o’ fruit salsas here on Saucy Dipper…four (count ’em) FOUR recipes. Man, did they all taste good. I talked about the mango cucumber salsa, the strawberry and yellow pepper salsa, the cherry salsa dip, and now my favorite: pineapple and green pepper salsa. At least I think the pineapple salsa… Continue reading Pineapple Salsa Dip. The End.
Strawberry and Yellow Pepper Fruit Salsa
It’s August, which is also known as the Saucy Dipper’s “Month O’ Fruit Salsas.” I already told you about a mango-cucumber salsa and today you get lots o’ strawberry-yellow pepper salsa goodness. Now, I’m not one to brag, especially since the following recipe isn’t really mine. I found inspiration on the Whole Foods website. However, I… Continue reading Strawberry and Yellow Pepper Fruit Salsa
Month O’ Fruit Salsas: Mango Cucumber
Most of the time I prefer a smooth dip over a salsa, but on a hot night not too long ago I got a hankering for a fruit salsa that couldn’t be denied. After some research, I decided on a mango-cucumber salsa. The freshness of the mango and cucumber was exactly what I wanted on… Continue reading Month O’ Fruit Salsas: Mango Cucumber
Aji Amarillo Chip Dip
This dip was truly an experiment. I read a few recipes for aji amarillo dip, yeah, but when it came time to produce, I just threw a bunch of ingredients together until I found a flavor I liked. I’m not sure what I expected. Something spicy? Something unique? Again, not sure. But what I got… Continue reading Aji Amarillo Chip Dip
Horseradish Stinks.
But horseradish tastes good once you get past the burning in your nostrils. Last week I wrote about the best French dip and au jus of my life, and you may remember me mentioning the horseradish. Is it only me or is a meal not complete without some kind of topping, spread, sauce, or dip? Horseradish is… Continue reading Horseradish Stinks.
Celebrating Cinco de Mayo with Taco Sauce
I don’t usually celebrate Cinco de Mayo to the fullest. I mean, I think Mexico’s freedom is a wonderful thing, but Cinco de Mayo is a little like St. Patrick’s Day to me…It’s a good reason to have a parade, and I don’t really like parades. But, then again, both holidays are a good reason… Continue reading Celebrating Cinco de Mayo with Taco Sauce
