Truly Low Carb Picante Sauce (Fresh Salsa)

  • 1 cup finely chopped, fresh tomatoes

  • 14 oz. can of diced tomatoes, with juices

  • 2 tablespoons minced green onions

  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro (may add more or less, to taste, I use 4-6 Tb.)

  • ½ Haas avocado, diced (optional)

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

  • 1 tablespoon granular Splenda™

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 2 teaspoons black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • ½ teaspoon celery salt

  • ½ teaspoon chili powder

  • 1 ounce chopped black olives (optional)

  • 1 roasted minced hot jalapeno or habanera pepper OR 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce

  • 2 teaspoons  ThickenThin Notstarch™ (optional)

    •
    Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and allow flavors to combine for at least a couple hours before serving. 

    Keeps in refrigerator for 4-7 days.

    12 servings, each about 1/2 cup: 33 calories, 2 grams fat (0 grams saturated), 4 grams


    VARIATIONS: 

    If not using NotStarch™, I recommend straining off the juices (save them to use when seasoning ground beef for taco salads or wraps?) 

    You may use all canned tomatoes (2 cans total) with excellent results, or use 2 cans Mexican-style canned tomatoes (I prefer Rotel™) and skip the lime juice and green chilies
