Healthy Salsa Recipe
I call this recipe salsa but I have been informed by many that it is more of a Pico De Gallo. I love that that not only is this recipe super tasty but also is very healthy. There is no added sugar and contains just a few simple ingredients. If you have a garden, this would be a great way to use your tomato crop but you can purchase the tomatoes at the grocery store too.
Ingredients for Salsa or Pico De Gallo
- 2 cups grape or cherry tomatoes
- ½ cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 3 tbs lime juice
- ½ sweet onion finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt
- jalapeño pepper seeded (use 1/2 for mild salsa and full pepper for spicy)
How To Make Healthy Salsa Recipe
You will not believe how easy this is to make. There are just three things to do!
- Chop tomatoes into eights
- Chop cilantro, onion and jalapeño
- Combine tomatoes, cilantro, onion, jalapeño, salt and lime juice
I hope you enjoy this fresh homemade salsa that you can make without a food processor. You might never go back to store bought salsa again! Simple fresh ingredients makes this healthy recipe super delicious.
