50 Fermented Salsas, Dips, & Spreads | My family are huge fans of my homemade salsa, bean dip, and pesto -- which are all lacto-fermented. As I put together this round-up of 50 amazingly healthy and colorful fermented salsas, dips, and spreads, my eyes were opened to all the ways I can add even more beneficial bacteria into our foods... and probably without anyone noticing. ;) | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

After five years, my family still aren’t fans of fermented foods. Boo. But they are fans of my homemade salsa, bean dip, and pesto — which are all lacto-fermented. What they don’t know won’t hurt ’em! Muahahahaha!!

My husband will happily dip blue corn chips into my lacto-fermented Tex-Mex salsa, claiming that his wife makes the best salsa he’s ever had (although he now knows it’s fermented). My children will dollop globs of my lacto-fermented, nut-free pesto on their gluten-free pasta and gobble it up.

It’s pretty awesome how sneaky we can get with ferments, and when people don’t know there are millions (maybe even billions!) of tiny, healing organisms living in their food, they somehow, magically, enjoy things they would otherwise think are gross.
