Puttanesca Salsa
I can think of about one hundred ways to use this Puttanesca Salsa. Over fish (pictured here), chicken, or lamb; as an ingredient in an organic sour cream dip; or tossed with Zucchini noodles or Cauliflower “rice.” You will no doubt think of other ways to use it over the holidays or any time of the year once you taste this highly flavorful and extremely versatile salsa. No cooking required!
