Tomato Raisin Salsa Fusion Recipe

 

Tomato Raisin Salsa is an interesting and healthy fusion of Tex-Mex and Indian spices.  Everyone loves salsa and I see many flavor combinations available in the grocery store.  The new salsa combinations inspire me to play around with flavor combinations of my own.  There are many different ingredients that you can fuse to make an interesting and tasty salsa.  With the Tomato Raisin fusion, the raisin adds a distinct sweetness, and the curry and jalapeno chile pepper add another dimension!  This salsa is excellent served on Naan Bread with Tomato Raisin Fusion Salsa.
