The names of Walnut Acres' new certified organic salsas -- "Midnight Sun," "Sweet Southwestern Peach," "Fiesta Cilantro" -- sound more like gothic romance novels. But though these mellow salsas rarely generate the heat of those novels' steamier passages, they taste good and are nicely seasoned. Fiesta Cilantro boasts a medium heat, Midnight Sun is a mild salsa starring black beans, and the peach is mild and sweet. Each 15-ounce bottle costs $4.
