Health Benefits

Salsa is one of the healthiest snacks and appetizers you could reach for! Tomatoes are rich in potassium, folic acid and vitamins A, C and E. They also contain the powerful antioxidant lycopene. This is what gives tomatoes their rich red color, and also provides us with anti-inflammatory and detoxification benefits. The tomato also contains anti-thrombotic agents that keep you blood vessels clear and healthy, making for a happy heart. Remember that fresher, organic tomatoes are always more nutrient-dense! Believe me, you can see and taste the difference!

While I do enjoy dipping organic tortilla chips into this fresh salsa, they definitely aren’t the only option. I also love to use this on top of grilled fish or chicken, and on salads. Add in some homemade guacamole and I’m in heaven!
