Cavender's Salsa

High histamine

This salsa is high in histamine, driven by its tomatoes.

This is a tomato salsa made from tomatoes, onions, jalapeno peppers, vinegar, garlic, and spices.

  • Tomato leads — tomatoes are a classic histamine liberator, and that is the main reason this salsa runs high.

  • Jalapeno and vinegar add on — the jalapeno peppers and vinegar each sit in the moderate range, stacking onto the tomato.

Tomato is the backbone here, so a non-tomato dip is the better route.
