Here’s how it works.

The raised side of the Salsabol curves back over into the bowl to form a perfectly-engineered ramp to guide the salsa directly onto your chip. Just scoop your chip up the high side and the “bol” will do the rest.

The first thing I noticed when I took my Salsabol out of its box is how pretty it is. It has a sleek, curvy shape that will go with any decor. Plus, you can get it in any color you like, as long as it’s yellow. Luckily, I happen to love yellow.
To “christen” my new Salsabol, I decided to make some delicious homemade salsa over the weekend. This Spicy Melon Salsa is quite possibly one of the best salsas I’ve ever eaten, and it is a snap to make! It’s put together with a mix of cantaloupe, honeydew and watermelon, blended with some red onion, jalapeno, lime juice, fresh mint and my secret ingredient – Sriracha sauce. That’s right – Sriracha! Sriracha sauce is a Thai hot sauce found at any Asian market. It is wonderful on everything from eggs to French fries, and it gives this salsa the perfect little spicy kick without making it too hot to handle.

All you do is dice up the melons, onion, jalapeno and mint in little, tiny pieces and swirl in the lime juice and Sriracha. I also added a large pinch of both salt and sugar to balance out the flavors. The salsa was light, crisp and just slightly sweet, playing perfectly off of the tart lime and spicy Sriracha.
And yes, my Salsabol worked great! Not a drop of that lovely salsa went anywhere but on the blue corn chips I served it with.
If you want to join the Salsabol revolution too, visit Tom and Michael’s site and get a Salsabol for yourself. They're selling for $12.97. I think it’s gonna be big!
