Former President Jimmy Carter gave First Place to this zippy salsa at the Plains Peanut Festival in his Georgia hometown. Mother-daughter team Lane and Elizabeth McCloud came up with the recipe just days before the competition. "Although we weren't allowed in the judging room, we later saw a tape of President Carter tasting our salsa and saying, 'Mmmmmm... that's good,'" says Lane, who lives in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. "Elizabeth was only 9 at the time, but it's a day she'll never forget." -Lane McLoud, Siloam Springs, Arkansas

This salsa is a great way to use up leftover peanuts. It's also a healthier alternative to traditional salsas.

I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter, but I really enjoyed this salsa. The peanut butter flavor is subtle and it complements the other ingredients well.
