Garden Veggie Salsa and Gourmet Garden
AND a giveaway!!
Have you seen these amazing Gourmet Garden herbs in the produce section of the grocery store?? I found them several months ago and fell immediately in LOVE with them! They’re just like having fresh garden herbs right in your fridge!! AND the best part? They last forever (well, almost!) They need to be kept refrigerated but they can last up to 3 months 
I’ve never found a fresh herb that can do that…
As many of you know I attended Evo blogging conference and afterwards I was contacted by Gourmet Garden to see if I would like to try some of their products. Of course, I said yes because I already LOVE these things! Maybe you’ve noticed them popping up in some of my recipes lately??
I’ve used them in…
AND today’s Garden Fresh Salsa… we always plant Cilantro in our garden every year but by the time the tomatoes and onions are ready to make fresh salsa the Cilantro has gone to seed and turned into itself into Coriander 
I was very happy to receive as part of the Gourmet Garden herbs some Cilantro- all prepared and ready to use!! They have a nice variety of herbs available… I’ve been trying out their Ginger, Cilantro, Oregano, Lemon Grass, Dill, Parsley, Chili Pepper, Chunky Garlic, Garlic, Basil, and Italian Herbs! I’m sure there will be many more delicious recipes coming soon that use Gourmet Garden herbs!!
- 4 large tomatoes, chopped
- 1 white onion, chopped
- 1 green pepper, chopped
- 1 cucumber, peeled and chopped
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
- 1 tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 2 Tbsp Gourmet Garden Cilantro
- ½-1 fresh lemon, juiced (to taste)
- 1-2 Tbsp white wine vinegar (to taste)
- Combine first 8 ingredients in a mixing bowl, add lemon juice and vinegar to taste.

- Enjoy!

I have seen Gourmet Garden products in my local Publix grocery store and would love the cilantro to use in my guacamole recipe.
Hi Barbara… you’d totally love the Cilantro! All they do is blend it up and bottle it for fast, easy use! AND for the giveaway they are giving a large variety of herbs to try!! Thanks for entering
Oh I have been wanting g to try these! My mom just started using these and can’t stop talking about how much she loves them. Hopefully I can cross them off my grocery list before going to the store
They are really great! I’m so glad you entered
I’ve used the Basil, wonderful! Thanks for the chance to win!
I’m so glad to have something fun to share with my readers!! This is my first try at a give-away
Thanks for entering!
We love fresh salsa! Looks delicious!
I’ve used the Ginger, Cilantro, and Basil….I got tired of buying fresh herbs….having them sit in the poor veggie drawer just to rot…..I’ve been cooking up a storm so these would be SO nice to have since I haven’t tried all the flavors……:0)
I feel exactly the same way … I love Gourmet Garden for that exact reason!
I have used the Lemongrass from Gourmet Garden, and was extremely pleased…working with lemongrass is pretty labor-intensive, and I usually avoid it, but their product has changed my attitude about trying recipes with Lemongrass!
I’ve never heard of this stuff… sounds AMAZING !! Can’t wait to try it !
These sound great! I never had heard of them before. These would be a good alternative to those dry herbs I end up using all winter
Ruthie, I enjoy reading your sight.You offer great recipies and imformative articles. So happy for you. Thank you, June
I’ve noticed them in the store. However I have not used them yet. I would love to try the basil.
I love your blog and look at it all the time. I however, hate to cook. I’ve never heard of those herbs but would LOVE to give them a try. Maybe I’ll like to cook more if they help my food taste better.
I just made some bottled salsa but have never made fresh. Nor have I ever used these herbs. I get jealous of how great your garden is because mine is a total failure. I guess I’ll have to try these since I can’t get herbs to grow fresh.
I have never seen these, but I know that Cilantro is ALWAYS my favorite, but in Texas produce never lasts more than a week, if that:( So these would be AWESOME!
I have never seen these herbs before! Would love the chance to try one! Ruthie, your recipes look divine….especially the deserts!
Congratulations Lilian!!! You’re the winner of this awesome gift pack from Gourmet Gardens! Please email me: ruthie@whatscookingwithruthie.com for details! You’ll absolutely LOVE their products!!
I love the Gourmet Garden products. I have used the basil, cilantro, garlic and ginger so far. Great recipes Ruthie, keep em coming.
Never heard of the Gourmet Garden products before, sounds like a great idea. There are many times when cooking it asks for herbs and I just skip that part, because I don’t have any. Enjoying your recipes.
I haven’t tried these, but I’ve heard of them. I’d love to test them out.

The salsa looks yummy! I just used their ginger and it is great , I like that they don’t take up much room in my fridge!
I have used them when I was traveling, they are very conveniant for traveling with a RV…I love how fresh they are and last along time too.
OK.. I am behind the times. I would love to try cilantro and dill. They sound YUMMY!
Your salsa looks so good!
I have used these products when basil is out of season in my area (Wisconsin). Great products and I would love to try more!
