    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!

    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.

    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. ;)
