Pepper Dog salsa
Pepper
Dog is a mixed breed of tomatoes, cilantro, garlic and spices blended
to a smooth consistency. It is made without vinegar or onions found
in traditional salsas, and contains no preservatives or additives.
The difference is in the heat, according to the Apex-based company.
Pepper Dog salsas come in mild, medium and hot and are sold at many
North Carolina stores, including Blowing Rock Market in Blowing Rock,
Good Life Gourmet in Nags Head, Temptations in Wilmington and select
Whole Foods. Folks can also buy online through links at Pepper Dog’s
Web site. Suggested retail prices for the salsa are $3.95 for the
9-ounce container and $6.95 for 16-ounce. Gift crates with three
jars (1 mild, 1 medium, and 1 hot, 9 ounces each) sell for $15. A
new green salsa was set to debut in November.
