Homemade Salsa Recipe

 One of the best things you can do for your body is home cook your meals. When you prepare your meals, you have the ability to control the nutrients and calories. You want to be eating foods that have real ingredients in them meaning, you should be able to read all the ingredients on the food label. Generally speaking, most salsas aren't that bad for you; but, homemade is always better. In addition to being delicious and healthy, this recipe will make enough to feed an army! Seriously, you need a big bowel.

My Favorite Ways To Eat This:
If you're not making this for a party, you're going to have a lot of salsa on hand. Personally, I love this and put it on almost everything! For breakfast, I'll mix some of the salsa in with my egg whites for a bit of a kick. For lunch, I'll top a salad with it or whip-up some lettuce wraps. You can also add some grilled steak, chicken, or tuna to your lettuce wraps to bulk them up. For dinner, you can use this as a topping on your poultry or beef or eat it as a side. You can incorporate this into far more recipes than the ones I have suggested.

Your Thoughts:

For those of you wondering, I'm not sure where this recipe originally came from. I got this from my mom a couple years back but she can't remember who she got it from. If you ask me, it's probably from Food Network. If you are familiar with this recipe let me know who it originated from. Anyway, yummy snacking!
