Our Salsa Journey Begins
Our salsa recipe was created nearly 22 years ago, out of necessity. Our local grocery store discontinued our preferred salsa brand. My husband and I went on a search for a new salsa. When we failed to find one that satisfied our taste buds, I began experimenting in the kitchen. The result has been a staple in our family ever since.
With encouragement from family and friends, Prairie Fire Salsa was created. We are proud to share a variety of flavors to add spice to your palate. With our fresh and robust ingredients, we are confident that you will enjoy our recipe as much as we do!
