Enjoy Salsa Without the Extras

September 25, 2017 By Shanna Leave a Comment

Nutrisystem DisclosureOne of my favorite things about summer is all the fresh salsa! But did you know salsa can be full of salt and extra calories that you are not even aware you are consuming? You would think because it’s vegetables that you are making a healthy food choice. But if there are lots of extras like olives you can end up consuming a lot of extra calories without even knowing it.  But I have a solution! I have a healthy salsa that won’t kill your calorie intake but will up your vegetable intake!

Ingredients for SalsaTo make my salsa you’ll need the following –

6-8 firm Roma Tomatoes

1-2 bunches of Table Onions

1 Red Pepper

1 Green Pepper

1 Lemon

Morton Lite Salt

Mrs. Dash Tomato Basil Garlic

Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipolte

I was out of lemons so I was forced to use lemon juice but it does make a difference. Be sure to pick up a fresh lemon if you can.

Chopped Vegetable for SalsaFirst, dice the tomatoes, this is the base for your salsa so you want to make sure you pick up firm Roma Tomatoes. It’ll be easier to dice them if they are firm and I like the consistency and texture of them when they are firm.

Next, wash and slice the table onions and peppers.

Combine all your sliced and diced ingredients in a big bow. Squeeze half a lemon on the vegetables. Then add a little bit of the salt and season with the Mrs. Dash to taste. I will warn you, the Southwest Chipotle is what gives this salsa its kick so go sparingly. You can always add more but you cannot take it away!

Chopped Vegetable for SalsaLet it sit in the fridge for an hour or so for the flavors to mingle together. Now you have a healthy salsa that is full of vegetables but not the extra calories! It’s great for a snack, on top of burgers or for big gatherings.

Weight loss is a journey. It takes a while to reach your goals. But while you are on the journey, take this opportunity to change your habits and live a healthier lifestyle. Nutrisystem is full of information, tips and knowledge to help you make those changes in your life. Plus you have support through counselors and the community.

Fresh Salsa without the extrasIf you are ready to slow down and enjoy life while trying to drop a few pounds, check out Nutrisystem. It’s really made a difference in my life.
