Do you love a Delicious Quick and Easy Homemade Salsa that tastes amazing and have a spare 5 minutes? If the answer is Yes then this Recipe is perfect for you.
I have been trying to stay away from certain processed foods as much as possible as they tend to have large amounts of added sodium and sugar which we all know is not good for our Health or Waistline.
The typical store bought Salsa has about 250 Mg of Sodium for only 2 Tablespoons which is not much Salsa when you are dipping.
If you use store bought Salsa and scoop like me you can ingest your daily recommended amount of Sodium with one little snack....not good take 5 minutes and make your own.
This Quick Easy Homemade Salsa is a perfect way to incorporate those Fresh Garden Veggies into something Healthy and Delicious.
Since my garden happens to be producing lots of veggies right now I was able to go outside and pick 2 Tomatoes off the vine and a handful of Jalapeno Peppers and Fresh Cilantro.
If you don't have a Vegetable Garden just head over to the produce aisle of your favorite supermarket or local farmers market to pick up the Fresh Veggies you will need.
It is really fun to plant your own Salsa Garden and be able to pick your own Ingredients. If you don't have one think about planting one.
Even if you don't have a yard you can get a couple of flower pots and make a little container garden on a small patio or even on a windowsill.
For some reason Food tastes so much better when the Ingredients were grown by you and and harvested by you, I cannot explain it.

Do you peal the tomato's? Do you include the tomato seeds?
I do not peel the tomatoes or remove the seeds just chop up the tomato and place the pieces into the Mini Ninja and pulse it. It makes the perfect Salsa.
What about the chips you use. What kind are they and how many can u eat for a couple of points?
Hi Barb I love the Brand Late July Organic Chia Quinoa Chips they are only 4 points on WW for 10 chips and the chips are pretty big and satisfying. I have them in my Shop section under Food I Love if you want to see them.
