This fresh salsa tastes the best during the summer time when the Plum or Roma tomatoes are ripe and juicy, but not mushy. I adjust the amount of cilantro and jalapeno I use according to the friends attending the gathering. The spicier the better. Fresh cilantro is a must. You can add salt and pepper if you like but I have found that with all of the fresh flavors of the ingredients, it is not necessary.
You won't miss the fat! Fresh, tangy and lower in sodium than most dressings. Makes 14 servings of 2 Tbsp.
This delicious soup simmers in the crockpot, for a simple, comfort-food dinner.

This is a spin-off of the chili my mom makes! I turned it healthy by subbing turkey for beef and tried to reduce the sodium a bit. Took this to a TOPS holiday potluck and it was a hit!
If you are still concerned about the sodium content, I recommend finding low sodium salsa or omitting the taco seasoning packet all together. Also, using ground turkey breast reduces the already minimal fat content.
A great zesty start to any dinner party, its like baba ganouche only Indian inspired.
This is a recipe I came across while living in Italy many years ago. I have added some of my favorite vegetables to it to "beef" it up and make it more hearty. It is one of my family's favorites, great for a cold fall or winter night.
