Who doesn’t love a good salsa! (I’m not sure if that is actually a question or a statement but I will go with the later:))
As with the great majority of recipes that I share with you, this is a simple, whole foods gem that likely includes many of the ingredients that you already have in your pantry.
Salsa and chips is a perfect snack for Saturday night hockey, Sunday afternoon football or your monthly book club meetings.
I included this recipe in the ‘Kicking Cancer in the Kitchen’ section of my October Newsletter and got some great feedback on it!
This salsa provides you with cancer-fighting nutrients like healthy fats, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants as well as gut healthy fibre.
I hope you enjoy it!

Tips:
- If you like a little heat don’t be afraid to spice it up by adding chilli flakes or even jalapenos to the salsa before serving
- If corn chips are not your thing, then try whole grain pita chips or your favourite whole grain cracker.
