What is Rotel
Rotel is canned diced tomatoes that have green chiles added in. A delicious tomato mixture that is great for mixing in casseroles, skillet meals, and dips like this one here.
If you can’t find Rotel do a can of diced tomatoes and a small 4 ounce can of green chiles.
Storing Leftover Salsa
If you are looking to save any leftovers, place in an airtight container. Store in the fridge for 4-5 days. Then give a stir and then use as you wish.
Can You Freeze Salsa
Salsa can be frozen but the color and texture will alter a bit. But you will find it has a similar flavor to the fresh salsa you whip up. You are more than welcome to freeze for up to 2 months. Then thaw in the fridge overnight before you plan to serve it up.
Is Salsa Healthy
Salsa is rather healthy. You will find it can have some sodium depending on the canned tomatoes. But overall it is a lower carb option. Then just remember how you serve it also varies in how healthy the salsa is.
Can I Use Fresh Tomatoes
You are more than welcome to use fresh tomatoes, just swap the canned tomatoes, and use a 4 oz can of green chilis to add into the tomatoes. That will help to replace the Rotel.
