I have found Marketside Salsa ( mild, medium or hot) at Walmart. Always fresh and great taste.

Off topic, but I thought you meant salsa dancing! One of my favorite forms of exercise!

As for salsa for dipping, I use Pace chunky, add a little diced garden fresh tomato, diced avocado, garlic powder, and lime. If I have the calories, I put some cream cheese on the side too. Perhaps splurge on the cream cheese then salsa dance to work it off? :P

Here is my new favorite recipe for salsa!

10 peeled tomatoes
2 green peppers
3 Habenaro peppers
1/2 Onion
1 1/2 tsp. cumin powder
1/4 cup vinegar
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp sugar
1 can tomato paste
dash red pepper

It is a nice sweet salsa with a very tiny kick! We had this at my nephew's birthday party this weekend and the whole quart jar was gone before we knew it!

Mine is a chillis copycat recipe

I can whole peeled tomatoes drained
1/2 onion
1 jalapeño or several rings from jar
1 "squirt" of lime juice
Garlic powder to taste
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Cumin to taste

Usually about a few shakes of each container is where I start

Put in food processor or blender and blend for a few seconds. Best after its been in fridge for an hour or more. If you like the stuff at Mexican restaraunts that's what it tastes like.

I don't really measure but here goes my favorite fresh salsa recipe:

4 tomatoes
1 15oz can diced tomatoes(not stewed)
1 small white onion
handful of jalapenos(I leave seeds in 'cause I like it HOT)
1-2 anahiem peppers
1 4oz can tomato sauce
1-2 gloves of garlic
1tsp cumin
1tsp chili powder
1 handful cilantro
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp or so of fresh lime juice

Put all in food processor and blend. Chips and salsa is the breakfast of champions :happy:

Fruit salsa

1 container of strawberries
3-4 kiwis
2-3 apples(any kind)
1/2 c fresh blueberries
2TBLS brown sugar

Dice up all fruit(except blueberries) into little diced pieces. Throw in blueberries, stir in brown sugar and let set for 2-3 hours. Serve with cinnamon tortillas...Spread a little butter on tortilla, sprinkle sugar and cinnamon, cut into triangles, bake until starting to crisp up. Or just eat with a spoon, which is what we usually do.

I just made this one and it was fabulous -- http://www.food.com/recipe/diners-freezer-salsa-12275

I had a ton of tomatoes so looked for one that would freeze. I haven't thawed any yet and tried it but the stuff I had before I froze the rest was super good. I doubled the jalapenos and didn't add habaneros (I didn't have any) and the spice was good but I like mine really hot.

Awesome topic! Thanks!

I think I could find a way to put salsa on everything I eat...

Breakfast- Egg substitute omelet with green peppers, jalapenos, onions, tomatoes, fat free cheese, and of course- topped with salsa.

Snack- Green pepper slices dipped in a salsa-roasted red pepper hummus mix.

Lunch- Fresh greens salad with onions, tomatoes, sliced almonds, sliced grilled chicken strips, 1/2 of a Wholly guacamole 100 calorie pack, and topped with salsa

Dinner- Grilled chicken breast seasoned with salt-free southwest seasoning, topped with a pinch of fat free cheese, steamed broccoli with garlic and a squirt of spray butter, and brown rice seasoned with the same southwest seasoning. I put salsa on the chicken and rice.

My favorite dishes. MMMMM

Veggies! When I really want salsa, I make a salad and use salsa as the dressing. Like a taco salad..lettuce, black olives, jalapenos, guacamole or avocado, tomatoes, beans (I use black beans as opposed to refried) and salsa. You could add low fat cheese/sour cream too. Yum.

Or if you feel like cooking, you could make your own tortilla chips - that way you can control how bad they are. Buy the low-calorie, high fiber/protein tortillas and bake them!
