Five Low Calorie Fruity Salsas

January 29, 2018 By Namita Nayyar (WF Team)

Low Calorie Fruity Salsas

Salsas can go a long way to add nutrients and variety to your daily boring meals.

As the name suggests Salsa in Spanish stands for “sauce” — a catchall term for the zingy, chili-spiced mixtures that add pizzazz to a range of dishes. This week we show you how to make five simple enriching salsas.

1. Mango Salsa

Low Calorie Fruity Salsas

Ingredients:

  • 3 mangos
  • 1 pineapple
  • 1 red onion
  • 1/2 bunch of cilantro
  • 1 lime
  • salt (optional)

Instructions

  • Cut and slice the mangos, pineapple, red onion and cilantro.
  • Place all of them in a bowl.
  • Cut and squeeze one lime over the bowl.
  • Add a pinch of salt (optional).
  • Mix all ingredients and serve chilled.

2. Strawberry Salsa

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped jalapeño pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Agave Nectar, honey or white sugar

Instructions:

  • Gently mix all ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Serve immediately. You can make this a couple of hours before serving, but if you let sit too long, it will develop a liquid base.
  • Serve with cinnamon tortilla chips, or over top of grilled chicken, pork, or fish for a sweet and savory addition to your meal.
