Put your grandma’s secret recipe to the test. Better yet, make a name for your restaurant. You can enter the salsa challenge as an individual, or business. Choose between the categories of hot, mild and sweet/fruity salsa.

What You Do:
Make 5 gallons of Salsa, and reserve a pint for judging. You may use any edible ingredients to prepare your salsa, just remember it must be either hot, mild or sweet/fruity. You may prepare it at home and bring it to the site that day, or it may be prepared at the Henderson Salsa Challenge™. The People’s Choice Award is judged by the public. If you make more than the 5 gallon salsa minimum you maximize your chances to win. Spirit counts. Teams who decorate their areas and wear costumes get more votes.
