🎓🌶️ Salsa University Class of 2026 has officially graduated!
What started with a name, a logo, and a decorated apron turned into weeks of planting, growing, harvesting, learning, creating, and—of course—making some seriously good salsa!
Our residents learned where their ingredients come from, discovered the tradition behind the molcajete, created their own salsa recipes and brands, and finally put everything to the test in our Salsa Showdown.
And after a very spicy competition… 🥁
🏆 Congratulations to our 2026 Salsa University Champion: Evan’s Salsa Pot from Mesa Gardens, created by Maria, Abby & Elias!
A huge thank you to every resident who participated, every Community Organizer who brought Salsa University to life, and our brave judges who tasted their way through the competition. 🌶️😂
This is HomeGrown: learning something new, creating together, building traditions, and having a whole lot of fun along the way.
Congratulations, Class of ’26! 🎓🌶️
