My Salsa Was A Hit!

Tortilla and Herdez Salsa
I hosted a party yesterday and I just got to share my experience with Herdez salsa! I am not really a fan and I think this is the first if not the second time I used it with chips. My husband, on the other hand, loves salsa and he uses it with almost anything.

To be honest, I got interested to try the tortilla chips first. I ate it on its own, then I thought of trying it with salsa. Oh my!!! The whole tasting experience became different! I love the fact that it was kind of spicy. I never thought I'd like diced and spiced tomatoes. The taste was just perfect! The ingredients look made with quality from tomatoes to pepper! I might sound over-reacting but I just got to tell what I feel. Maybe I was too excited trying a medium salsa the first time. But I got to share, I almost finished half of the tortillas I served so I had to add more before the other guests arrive. LOL!

I also saw a friend who literally stood behind the appetizer table so I approached him and asked what was he doing there. He said he loved the chips because the sauce was great. I told him it was the first time I tried a (Herdez brand) salsa and I definitely agree with him. I think it was a hit because the salsa bowl was empty, even before the party ended.

I just wish I had more than a bottle! I never thought a lot of people would like salsa so much and finish the whole thing! I guess I just found my perfect snack-mate!

The Perfect Party Trays for Gatherings

Have you ever been invited to a party and didn't know what to bring? Or do you always have surprise guests who suddenly appear on your doorsteps? Well, I'd say the new Hormel Gathering Party Tray is the perfect answer to that! There's no need for you to prepare, the ingredients are already there, ready to be served! You don't even need to prepare a serving plate! :)
As you'll see in the pictures above, each ingredient is individually packed and sealed to maintain freshness. If you bought one and won't be using it the same day, place it in the fridge because the cheese might melt. You also need not worry about the crackers being stored in a cool place because it's crunchiness won't be affected. Now let's talk about the ingredients of the party platter:
  • Honey Ham - The round bite-sized shape makes it easier to swallow. It is tender and sweet. My favorite to top my appetizer!
  • Turkey - Like the honey ham, it has the same shape and size, probably three times the size of a quarter. Anyway, it is soft and it looks really fresh. 
  • Cheese - You have two options but both are equally delicious - Sargento Colby Jack and Sargento Mild Cheddar. I loved both because they are smooth and tasty.
  • Crackers - Crunchy and I'd say sweet rather than salty. To my fellow Filipinos, if you are looking for crackers similar to Fita, you bet this cracker taste similar to it . It's hard to find it here in the US, now, I know where I can find it! 
I deeply apologize for not having taken closer (and opened) photos of each, I brought this at a party and there were too many people already taking bits and pieces and I didn't want to bother them by taking photos of the food. Well, I'd say I definitely have at least three friends who liked it sooo much, besides my husband and daughter who can't stop eating them! 

Just for you to know. :)
If you prefer other meats to go with the crackers, they also have other Hormel Gatherings Party Trays - Hard Salami & Pepperoni Party Tray AND Supreme Party Tray. I can't wait to bring and try the other for upcoming events!
