2 bunches radishes (about 400g, with a few leaves if you have them)

COTIJA CHEESE SALSA



Cotija Cheese Salsa image

This is an excellent, fresh tasting dip. It is a sort of dry salsa that uses Cotija Mexican cheese. Cacique makes it and it is very easy to find in the southwest. The cheese is a crumbly, salty cheese that is very good. You could make this and eat it with corn tortilla chips or add as a garnish to any Mexican style meal. With out the seeds it is very mild for even a young guest, but can be hotter if you leave in the seeds. Our guests always love it.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and cheese will give your salsa the best flavor. If possible, buy organic ingredients to avoid pesticides and herbicides.
  • Choose the right type of cheese: A good melting cheese, such as cheddar or Monterey Jack, is best for cheese salsa. You can also use a queso fresco or cotija cheese for a tangier flavor.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: You want the vegetables in your salsa to be crisp-tender, not mushy. Cook them over medium heat until they are just starting to soften.
  • Add some spice: If you like spicy salsa, add a jalapeño or serrano pepper to the mix. You can also add some chili powder or cayenne pepper.
  • Let the salsa chill: After you've made the salsa, let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Confetti cheese salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It's perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a casual get-together with friends.
