Homemade Salsa

 



The bottom right is the final version... this particular version used fresh tomatoes, cilantro and jalapeno mixed with roasted onion, corn, tomato and Anaheim peppers. After mixing I added lime juice, cumin and a bit of Mrs. dash.  It is a very forgiving recipe that you can play with.




We have only been able to find one low sodium salsa and it is a Trader Joe's brand Chipolte one. Matthew loved it but since we don't have a Trader Joe's here, it is hard to come by. We have literally looked at EVERY salsa at EVERY store and we haven't found one that is even reasonably low in sodium. The one that Matthew ate constantly before going on this low sodium diet ended up being the worse one on the market. For 2 tablespoons it is 230mg of sodium.
We have started to just make our own, and as you can imagine it is much tastier than the store bought version.

Of course we eat it with our unsalted tortilla chips.
