ImDownWithDisney 342 Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 I'm a salsa fiend. I love the stuff at various Mexican joints, but my favorite by far is what they serve at J. Alexander's. It is really fresh tasting and has different ingredients like radishes and cucumber in it. J's won't give you the recipe, but I found a leaked copy on line. I decided to make it tonight, and it is spot on, IMHO.I encourage all salsa lovers to give it a try.JAY ALEXANDER'S SALSA(copycat recipe)1/8 cup oregano1/4 cup cilantro1/2 purple onion3 jalapenos4 oz. radishes6-7 garlic cloves1 whole green pepper3/4 cucumber1 tbsp. parsley flakes1/4 tsp. ground cayenne pepper1/4 cup vinegar1/2 cup olive oil38 oz. hunts diced tomatoes=1 lg.& 1 sm.1/4 tsp. chili powder1 lime squeezed, I actually found this optional.

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 I agree on J Alexanders salsa. Good stuff. I will have to try making this. BTW, have you had their rotisserie chicken? Love that too. And their prime rib sandwich. Oh man, now I'm hungry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LONE-STAR 370 Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 I love salsa my self and in Texas it is very common. But that is a strange recipe by local standards. That said I want to try it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AuburnJen 771 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 There is a BRAND NEW SECTION I have added (by request) for recipes. They don't have to be Disney ones. Go find the Disney recipe section and it is listed right below. Start your own thread for sections of what you would like. Have a blast! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Judy in Texas 150 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I love salsa my self and in Texas it is very common. But that is a strange recipe by local standards. That said I want to try it.Ditto. I'm sure it's good but it reminds me of the Pace Picante ads that were running on Fort Worth/Dallas TV. They talked about all those fancy salsas from New York City.Do you know if it would freeze or can? Maybe not with the cucumber... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ImDownWithDisney 342 Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Whoa....I created a sub-forum....coolAnybody made this yet?L-S,This stuff is not typical Mexican restaurant salsa. Its not even hot, but it is dang good. I love true Mexican salsa too, but this stuff has a lot of flavors they come through and play well together.I don't know about freezing it. 48oz of it only lasted 3 days around my house so far. My kids tear it up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rush 7 Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 I want to try this this weekends trip, do you puree this in a food processor or what? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ImDownWithDisney 342 Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 I do use a food processor, but I leave it a bit chunky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
