Salsa is perfect as a marinade that can take your grilling from good to gourmet. It's a quick and easy way to add flavor and tenderize meats.

Brush salsa on top of your grilled chicken, pork, seafood, shrimp, ground beef and steak, then add to your favorite salad. There are so many flavors to choose from that greens will never be ordinary again.
