Local Lisa


Salsa Lisa began making salsa out of her kitchen during college, when her crop of tomatoes was taking over her yard and kitchen. Lisa began creating salsa in large batches and giving it away to friends. Salsa Lisa was born and Lisa  Nicholson started selling her product at the Minneapolis Farmers Market. Demand grew, and before she knew it, Salsa Lisa was being sold in 16 states!

Salsa Lisa currently sells six varieties of her salsa from Mild to Tomatillo & Green Chile Authentic Green Salsa to Pineapple Ginger Sweet and Savory.

Salsa Lisa is sold in the refrigerated section of the grocery store.  I think having the salsa in the refrigerator makes a big difference. Salsa Lisa tastes fresh and the vegetables feel crisp when it sits on your chip! I tried the Medium flavor, and it seemed to have the perfect balance of “heat.” This salsa was $4.19 for 15 ounces and comes in a new plastic recyclable square container.
