Salsa Showdown
Turn your team into Southwestern chefs! Your goal will be to create a delicious award winning salsa, from scratch. Work against the clock to create and market your unique salsa creation and try to please the panel of judges.
Event Overview
Experience the Sights, Sounds, and flavors of Mexico!
Safety is our #1 Priority
Like you, we want to protect everyone's health. That's why we have implemented policies that follow CDC guidelines, so you can focus on building your team.
In this cooking team building activity, your group will be divided into small teams. Each team will be challenged with creating the best tasting salsa from scratch and deciding on which ingredients to use. Which recipe will your team use to build their culinary masterpiece?
Teams will have their own designated table with a pot, spoons, knives, cutting boards, aprons, markers and utensils. They will work against the clock, and each other, to create their salsa and then market it to the rest of the crowd.
It’s a hot cooking team building challenge where team members will also create team chants and design aprons that showcase their salsa “brand.” In the center of the room will be a spice table and vegetable marketplace.
This gastronomical group cooking class combines creativity with culinary skill as teams work together to win over the taste buds of the judges. Prizes will be awarded on creativity, presentation and taste. The tone of your Salsa Showdown will be set as teams come into the ballroom or meeting site, to the beat of Latin music.
For extra pep, you can add a Wine Tasting Team Building Challenge to this event. Along with making the best salsa they can make, teams will also have to whip a tasty batch of sangria.

The feedback has been nothing but positive. I received several unsolicited comments from many people who could not say enough great things about the program and the facilitators. It was definitely a success!
Ben and his team were fantastic yesterday! Thank you so very much for everything!
I have to say Kevin was absolutely OUTSTANDING. He is truly gifted in his presentation, engagement of the people, he’s funny and everyone just raved over him—top notch!
“It was an amazing day… and the team really enjoyed Tools for Schools. It meant a lot to them to help children in the community. There were many teary eyes, including mine!”
Our Charity Bike Build donation event was a huge success. Matt and his team handled everything beautifully, and our group had a ton of fun. I heard nothing but positive comments afterwards. We will definitely recommend you to our colleagues.
