The BEST Spicy Lime Salsa made with fresh, simple ingredients right in your blender for the perfect flavor boost to any healthy meal or serve as a delicious salsa with chips!
Ok so I’m gonna go ahead and say it. Â 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!

I love your blog! This recipe looks great and I’ll be using it for my Oscar party this weekend. Just wanted to add in though that fat-free salsa qualifies as a 0 Points+ food. 🙂
Looks fantastic! I love salsa and I put that stuff on everything. Besides dipping chips into it, I love putting it on chicken! Oh so good!!
Dang Kelly…this salsa looks delicious *licking my lips* lol. I eat about a jar of salsa a week so I can’t wait to give this recipe a try.
