Salsa is one of the most versatile dishes you can make. Paired with veggies or whole wheat pita wedges, it’s an easy and delicious snack. It also makes a great appetizer to bring to parties—especially if you’re trying to stay on the trim-down track. And don’t forget how tasty it is on plain chicken, eggs fish and veggies.
