Spice up your company’s next outing with a little friendly salsa competition to add some delicious Southwestern flair. Don’t forget the chips.

It’s a TeamBonding original salsa competition – SALSA SHOWDOWN. Do you have the best recipe? Prove it!

In this culinary team building activity, your group will be divided into small teams. Each team will be challenged with creating the best tasting salsa from scratch. Teams decide on which ingredients to use and on which recipe they use to build their culinary masterpiece.

Each team will also create team cheers and their own aprons that showcase the unique salsa “brand” that they create. In the center of the room will be a spice table and vegetable “marketplace”. You can also add to the salsa competition by creating and racing a vegetable car in our Salsa Derby!

If you so choose, you may also want to add a make your own Sangria portion of the program. Sangria and salsa? Sign me up.

Prizes will be awarded to teams for creativity, flavor, and presentation.

May the best team win!
