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. ;)

Fermented Tex-Mex Salsa | Having lived in Texas all my life, I think it’s safe to say that I know a thing or two about really good Tex-Mex salsa. I’ve spent the last two decades perfecting my salsa recipe, and several years ago, I began lacto-fermenting it. It’s my most-requested recipe! | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

What's the best part of making your own soft cheese from raw milk? Raw milk contains probiotics of course! Raw milk left to sit out and get warm means those probiotics are proliferating. This raw milk mascarpone is teeming with living flora. It's an indulgent, tasty health food that you can enjoy in both sweet and savory dishes!

Compound Butter {butter gets dressed up!} | If you’ve ever had honey butter, you’ve had compound butter. Compound butters are easy to make and they freeze well so they're handy whenever you need a quick flavor boost, an easy sauce, or a way to dress up simple food for company. Here are a myriad of flavor combinations and ideas for using them. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com
