Southwestern Waffles by Salad Foodie

What happens when salsa meets waffles? Fusion cuisine - a marriage of unexpected culinary elements! I was skeptical of how good this might be and was prepared to grab the agave nectar or honey and some butter just in case. But it was very good just as it is. If you like waffles and you like salsa, you'll probably like them together!

Favorite Buttermilk Waffles (with Whole Grain option) by Salad Foodie

Buttermilk makes baked products divine, and this is the way I use it in waffles. White whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour can be subbed to boost nutrition.
