    Salsa is great with a lot of things, Try it on scrambled eggs, over a baked potato, mixed with rice, make some red beans and rice top with salsa too, over burgers or veggie burgers, mix with corn and red peppers, I like to saute mushrooms and top with salsa. Try different salsas too I really like the Peach or Pineapple Salsa. Have a great day

    I take the mission extra thin corn tortilla and cut them in triangles spray a little pam on them and bake them. You can have 4 shells (32 triangles) for 160 calories. Taste really yummy. You don't need to make that many if you don't want to.

    Plain pretzel chips. Not the crackers, the flat pretzels. 10 cals per pretzel and they are pretty big.

    I'm from New Mexico, so salsa and chile are used in EVERYTHING! I quite like salsa in fat free cottage cheese.
  • Mix some salsa with plain (or classic or traditional) pasta sauce and saute shrimp or chicken in it.
  • I throw it into homemade chili

    I live on salsa I use it on:
    grilled salmon
    grilled or baked chicken
    chili
    eggs
    rice
    salad
    mix it with fat free cream cheese and use as a dip for fresh veggies
    baked potato
  • I make salsa a LOT. Mainly use it like a relish on the side of whatever I'm eating - livens up all sorts of meals. Also use it inside wraps and pitta breads, with some beans or chicken or roast veg.

    Good on rice-cakes or Ryvita too, specially with a slice of avocado or cheese on top.

    I eat salsa with a product called CocoPop Multigrain Cakes from Wegman's. They're only 16 calories each. I break up three and have a nice bowl of salsa with them as a snack and I only look at about 70-80 calories.
