Spicy Lime Salsa

Ok so I'm gonna go ahead and say it.
This is literally the best salsa EVER!

I love it because it contains everything you'd ever want in a salsa...tomatoes, jalapenos, green chilis, red onion, cilantro and even a dash of cumin {just to name a few ingredients}  It's super quick to blend together and is easily jarred for future use.  Oh and trust me, you'll want to make batches and batches of this stuff!

It's like crack.

I broke this up nutritionally by 1/2 cups since lets be honest people, who really sits down to eat salsa and only eats only 2 or 3 tablespoons??  Yeah no one in their right mind, except maybe Kate Moss.
 

The great thing is this salsa is fat-free and only 40 calories for an entire 1/2 cup!  I chose to use whole wheat tortilla chips, but baked ones would be a great choice too.  This would taste fabulous on quesadillas, taco salads, pretty much any Mexican entree you can think of and I can guarantee you it will be a hit at your next party.

...Cinco de Mayo anyone??

Umm so writing this post has given me a serious craving for some margaritas and/or other alcoholic beverages.  And did I mention it feels like 70 degrees outside??  Good thing I have Happy Hour planned in T-minus 7 hours, sure hope the day goes by fast!

Cheers friends!
