Looking to Spice Up Your Rice?

Adding a prepared salsa, dip, or dressing is an easy way to add some kick to your rice. For your toddlers you can choose a very mild salsa to start. For the rest of the family, you can mix in a hotter salsa or add some hot sauce or fresh serrano or jalapeño peppers to increase the heat.
