I've noticed recently that Salsas are becoming more popular now partly because they are low in cholesterol, fat, and calories and partly because they provide a great way to add depth and flavor to any dish especially chili enthusiasts. I, for one, am hooked. :) Trying desperately to stay away from preserved foods (catsup, mayo, etc), Salsas have become a life saver to me for adding savory flavors to chicken & fish instead of heavy cream sauces. :)

I absolutely LOVE salsa. Lately, we have been making healthy sandwiches with salsa:

Hemp Bread
Veggie Cheese
Spicey Chicken Patty (vegetarian)
Salsa

They make for a great yet simple lunch. :D

...made some BLAM salsa yesterday... as in Burn your Lips And Mouth! :lol:

1/2 a red onion
1 Jalapeno pepper
3 roma tomatoes
...all bended up, with some parsley for clolor and texture.

...it actually turned out a little too spicy for me :oops:, so, following my latest strange inspiration, I blended in 1/4 of a mellon. Its still spicy, but now also a little sweet as well. I think its yummy, if hot... and rather unorthodox. :oops: :oops: :oops:

As a 'difficult' lactose intolerant one, salsa is a great alternative :D !

I love it very simply served with good 'rustic' bread.
