Vegetable-Packed Guacamole
Very Good 4.5/5

My favorite Mexican restaurant serves a guacamole that's heavy on vegetables--and flavor. To slim it down even more, serve with carrots, celery and cucumber slices.

Robin's Low Sodium Chunky Salsa
Very Good 4.8/5

This salsa is chunky, tasty, and low in sodium. It's already hard enough to keep sodium levels under the 2300 mg max suggested by the experts. This was one way to keep a delicious treat and not have to worry about my sodium.

Kim's lowfat jalapeno poppers
Very Good 4.3/5

A tasty variation on the traditional popper. My hubby likes these for superbowl sunday. You can also vary the recipe by adding 2 -4 T fat free sharp cheddar shreds to the cream cheese mixture. Also you can use panko crumbs for a crispier coating. Make these at least once before serving to company, as it takes a knack to get them to come out nice looking.
