K-12 Spicy Cranberry Salsa

A bold, fresh salsa with a sweet-heat twist, combining cranberry relish, roasted peppers, corn, and smoky spices. Bright, colorful, and just the right amount of kick.

This student-friendly salsa puts a creative spin on a classic by building around Sandridge Cranberry Relish as its sweet, tangy base. Fresh diced tomatoes, green and red peppers, steamed corn, and red onion add color and crunch, while jalapeños, Tajín, and Smoky Carne Asada seasoning bring layers of heat and depth. The mixture is served over toasted loco bread, a thick, round flatbread that holds up well as a base and makes for easy, mess-free portioning. Chilled and ready to serve, this is a versatile option that works as a side, a snack, or a shareable starter.
