    Chips and salsa are a staple in this house. I have no less than 4 jars of salsa in the pantry at any given time and usually 1 or 2 or opened ones in the fridge. We are addicted!

    FAQs

    Is fresh salsa healthy?

    Yes! Fresh salsa is one of the healthiest condiments you can reach for.
    Whether you choose tomato-based salsa or fruit salsa, it’s loaded with vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants. Made from plant foods, it’s naturally cholesterol free. 
    It’s also gluten free and oil free!

    What can I add to salsa to make it better?

    If you’re looking for a more creative salsa recipe, the options are endless. Adding different herbs, vegetables, and even fruit, will satisfy your salsa cravings no matter your mood. 
    My Smoky Cilantro Lime Mexican Bean Dip can be used like a chunky salsa and my Creamy Cranberry Salsa Dip is an entertaining favorite that’s perfect for the winter holidays.

      I TRIED IT THE WAY RECIPE SAID THE FIRST TIME MINUS THE JALAPENOS. THEN I TRIED IT WITH THE LIME JUICE, CILANTRO, BASIL, ORANGE JUICE, DICED TOMATOES, AND CUCUMBERS ALONG WITH THE OTHER INGREDIENTS THAT WAS LISTED MINUS THE JALAPENOS. I DO NOT LIKE JALAPENOS. I ALSO ADDED EXTRA PEACHES TO IT. I TRIED IT BOTH WAYS AND BOTH WAYS WERE GOOD. TRY IT VARIOUS DIFFERENT WAYS TO FIND THE ONE THAT YOU LIKE BEST. IT HAD THAT SWEET FLAVOR WITH SOME HEAT TO IT WITH THE VARIATION THAT I DID ABOVE MINUS THE JALAPENOS.5 stars

        Black pepper or bell peppers? A dash of black pepper or 1/4 cup of diced bell peppers should work. Enjoy!
