Low Sodium Salsa...the perfect game-time snack



Make this salsa to snack on during the game- it's super easy, and healthy! Cut back on the sodium and never know the difference.... Pair it up with low sodium chips for an extra healthy combo everyone will love! Try it at home and add your own 'flavor' if you'd like.

Ingredients
3 large tomatoes
1 onion (small or medium)
4 tomatillas (the little green tomatoes)
1/4 cup chopped jalapeno peppers (you can buy them chopped!)
3 tbsp. chopped cilantro (fresh has more taste)
1/2 lime

Preparation
chop the tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, and add the other ingredients. Squeeze the fresh lime juice into the salsa. It's THAT simple!

You can blend it for a more liquid salsa, and add ingredients like pepper, garlic or oregano depending on your preferences. There's a chef inside everybody! Definitely give this salsa recipe a try- there is NO SALT added! You'll get plenty of salt from the jalapenos and chips. This is one of my all time favorite salsa recipes. Super delicious, and the ultimate healthy salsa.
*If you want it more spicy, let it sit overnight in the refrigerator.
