Chef Don McMillan Shares the Secrets of Zesty Salsa

Do you know what you’re eating when you dip that chip into some zesty salsa?  Green Mountain Gringo®  brand understands America’s desire to know.  The Balancing Act TV show on Lifetime Television presents Chef Don McMillan from the Stocked Pot Cooking School to show us what great salsa is made from, and then he whips up some tasty treats that viewers can make at home. The show airs on June 11^th and in the weeks that follow, and can also be viewed at www.thebalancingact.com/gringo.

“I love using Green Mountain Gringo salsa because it tastes great, is all natural and free of preservatives,” Chef McMillan says. “Green Mountain Gringo has ripe tomatoes, fresh onions and tomatillo peppers, fresh jalapenos, cilantro, sea salt, vinegar and spice – nothing a 5-year-old can’t pronounce.”

“I also appreciate that it is free of allergens, trans fats, gluten, and contains no added sugar,” he explains.

Green Mountain Gringo comes in five flavors: hot, medium, mild, roasted garlic and roasted chili pepper. They also make tortilla strips in three flavors – original, white corn and blue corn - to accompany the salsa.  GMG brand is the No. 1 salsa chosen by those who know salsa, and Chef McMillan is certainly an aficionado.

On the show, he created an array of delicious dishes incorporating the salsa and the strips in innovative ways.  Such culinary delights include the Planked Salmon and the Salsa Chicken Salad.
