I have ghost peppers coming out of my ears! I love it. Truly. Ghost peppers are nice and hot, and they’re super fruity in flavor, if you can get past the heat. Ghost peppers, aka Bhut Jolokias, top out at over 1 Million Scoville Heat Units, which is roughly 200+ times hotter than an average jalapeno pepper. Yes, that is some very nice heat there, but as mentioned, with that heat comes some excellent flavor. And that extends to this salsa. Oh yeah! FUN! Let’s talk about how we make this ghost pepper salsa, shall we? It’s super easy, as we’re working with fresh ingredients. Chop the peppers, tomato and onion, then add them to a bowl with the lime juice and cilantro. Toss everything together to combine it. Add in a few sprinkles of salt to your personal tastes, and BOOM! It’s that easy. Truly. Don’t you just love easy food? Salsas are easy.
Playing with the Recipe - Adjusting the Heat
You can easily adjust the ingredients to your preferences. If you’re concerned about the heat, consider using only 1 ghost pepper and filling in the recipe with other peppers. You can even use bell peppers for this. Or, if you’re looking for extra heat, this recipe can easily use up to 10 ghost peppers or more. Make it REALLY hot if you want! Sure!

Salsas are always popular on game day gatherings, or pretty much any party situation. Try some of my Game Day Recipes for more ideas. I also like to use salsa as a topper for any grilled or roasted meats, like chicken, pork, and especially fish. White fish LOVES a good salsa, and it makes for a healthy meal.
