Who doesn’t love chips and salsa?! With the weather (finally!) getting warmer, I’ve been making/eating a lot of salsa. It’s the perfect lighter snack to have in the afternoons, or on the weekends with friends over drinks (like these Lighter Watermelon Mojitos , yes please!).
If you’re on a Whole30, you might be feeling a little left out during the Cinco de Mayo or Friday night fun – but you can still enjoy one of these 20 Easy Healthy Salsa Recipes (just minus the chips!)
How to enjoy Healthy Salsa:
- Tacos
- Lettuce wraps
- On top of grilled chicken/fish
- In a marinade
- As a dressing
The list goes on and on! If you’re on a Whole30 – it’s a great way to add flavor to dishes.. and if you’re not on a Whole30 it’s perfect for snacking on with a big bag of chips!
Our Pineapple Mango Salsa is one of my favorite recipes to make as a snack or a topping to lettuce wraps/ tacos. This salsa is my go to, but lately I’ve been looking to switch it up.
I reached out to some of my favorite foodie bloggers + asked if they had any healthy salsa recipes to share – and they delivered!
These salsas would be perfect for Taco Tuesday, Cinco de Mayo, or pretty much any day. I mean… who really needs a holiday to enjoy some chips and salsa?! Not me 🙂
