salt to taste
In a blender, add tomatoes, jalapeno, garlic, cilantro, and water and pulse a few times until completely smooth. Add oil to a deep skilled, then pour in mix. Season with salt and simmer uncovered for about 20-25 minutes stirring occasionally. makes about 1 1/2 cups.

I like Garden of Eatin's Blue Chips. Organic and about 140 cal for 15 chips!

ZOMG yes!!! I *love* mixing cottage cheese with salsa and eating it with cucumber slices. I have that as a snack at least a couple of times every week. Soooo good!

I was totally gonna say that!! Or carrots, or just mix it with some corn and pour over fish or chicken!

We just bought a strawberry salsa at the farmers market. I am thinking of adding it to my salad tomorrow.

I like to eat mine with Cheddar Cheese Quakes, you can fit a lot of salsa on 1, they have tons of crunch, and I feel satisfied with just a few so I can really control the calories when I eat them.

Thats almost my salsa recipe! Except i dont roast the garlic, just peel and toss it in the blender. I add a little lemon juicr(the bottled stuff is fine). About the chips... we like Snyders of Hanover (you know the pretzel makers) restaurant style tortilla chips. Very tasty and low in fat.perfect for dipping. Not sure where u live but Publix carries them.

My favorite are Organic Blue Corn tortilla chips. The brand I get is actually our supermarket store brand (Meijer) but they're really good.

Why do you need olive oil in salsa?

I buy corn tortillas, cut and bake them myself, yummo!

Why do you need olive oil in salsa?

That step gives it a roasted flavor. Only a teaspooon of olive oil for the whole recipe. I sometimes skip that part and just serve it after the blender.

tostitos baked scoops

Or take low-carb, low-calorie flour tortillas, cut into eighths, and bake until crispy

You really don't need oil for a good salsa. And REAL salsa is raw, never cooked.

Some above me commented about bell peppers - My favorite. !!

CakeFit21

Wait, this salsa is cooked?

Why?

Heather75

No, no, no. This is all wrong...

Nancyhusanu

Jicama!! Also love it over baked potatoes, grilled chicken or fish!

for red salsa, i would only roast the peppers, and even then i'm not sure if i would always. i like my salsa very chunky and with way, way, way more cilantro. i also don't really have a recipe, i just add things to taste. i sometimes add a little olive oil, but it's not very often. mostly it's better to add the acid (lemon juice / vinegar) and i can't imagine a salsa without a ton of onions. sometimes i add cabbage, too. or shredded carrot. i've had authentic salsa with these items...

for salsa verde the base is made with tomatillos, so those are best roasted and then the salsa is cooked at the end to infuse flavors. it's mostly a smooth salsa anyway (and ridiculously delicious). i've had raw tomatillo salsa, but it's not nearly as good.

I used to love baked tostitos scoops. I can't get them in the UK : (

I haven't gone through the responses, but if you want store bought ones, I love the Xochitl brand. They some in organic and unsalted versions. They're super thin and traditional. Simple ingredients, nothing fancy. Corn, water, oil, lime. And yummy! I love them!

If you decide to check em out, they come in a brown paperish bag - I usually see them in the organic/natural section of the chip aisle, sadly on the lower shelves.

I microwaved an entire zucchini for three minutes last week and then added salsa.... it was glorious! And very filling for under 100 calories (I'd wager more like 50 calories!)

Thanks for all the suggestions!!! With the ones that didn't really like the salsa recipe.. do you have any good ones?

I eat La Favorita Corn Chips and they are wonderful and low sodium and low cal.

For salsa I use roma tomatoes, jalepenos, onion, cilantro, habanero, lemon juice and garlic powder. Blend it up and serve, so good.
