Show off your salsa skills and win big!

Do you make a salsa that's out of this world? We want to hear from you! After a successful first edition, we are excited to team up with el Restaurante once again to discover the best salsa recipes in the second annual el Restaurante Sassiest Salsa Contest.

Whether it's a classic recipe or a creative new twist, your salsa could be a winner!

Entering is simple, and the rewards are fantastic: The top recipe will earn a Sammic XM-52 Immersion Blender, an essential tool for perfecting your salsa! Plus, the top three winners will receive cash prizes: $750 for first place, $500 for second place, and $250 for third place. Winning recipes will also be highlighted in el Restaurante's Recipe-of-the-Week email program and featured in their Nov/Dec issue.

“We understand the crucial role that great salsa plays in a Mexican restaurant, and we are thrilled to support a contest that inspires chefs to innovate,” says Neal Pearlman, Sales Director, North America, for Sammic. “Our immersion blenders are ideal for crafting the perfect salsa, so it’s fitting to offer them as prizes.”

To participate, visit www.elrestaurante.com/2024-salsa-contest and fill out the form. The deadline for submissions is August 30, 2024. Your recipe should be original, and remember, the winning recipes will be published, so don’t send a secret family recipe you don’t want to share. Judging will be done by experienced chefs, with winners announced in September. Best of luck!
