Combine chopped vegetables, fruits, herbs and even hot sauce into a delicious summer salsa that is low in calories and bursting with flavor. There’s a salsa for every flavor palate, including:
- Tomato salsa: Combine chopped, plum tomatoes, onions, canned green chilies, cilantro and lime juice.
- Pineapple salsa: Combine chopped, fresh pineapple with chopped cilantro, fresh lime juice and a touch of sugar and minced garlic.
- Black bean salsa: Combine canned, drained black beans with chopped tomato, chopped onion and chopped cilantro.
One-half cup of an all-vegetable salsa counts as one vegetable serving. Make salsa with mango or another fruit and a ½-cup portion counts toward both your daily fruit and vegetable requirements.
