From mild to extra spicy hot, we love our salsa and I'm not referring to the sexy Latin dance, but to the popular dip that's added to everything from nachos to eggs and just about anything in between. People love salsa so much, it is now considered to be more popular than the beloved ketchup even! With this much salsa being consumed, it's a good thing that the sauce is a healthy and good for you food containing very few calories, no fat and plenty of vitamin C and other nutritious components.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

The combining of chilies, tomatoes and spices is thought to have originated with the Incas who apparently loved to add salsa as a condiment to their dishes. Now days, there's no limit to the types and varieties of salsa to be sampled. Although the most popular, salsa is not just for chips. In fact, how about having a nice fruit salsa for breakfast? Yes, fruit salsa is a delicious treat. Another great salsa alternative is with an avocado or guacamole salsa. Salsa recipes can be roasted or made with uncooked ingredients depending on your tastes and the recipe. There are tons of salsa recipes and the many ways of adding them to food is limited only to the imagination.

Do you think you'd like to try your hand at making your own fresh salsa? Not only is making salsa fun, but the results, if done correctly (and it's hard to mess these up folks) are delicious. Serve your own fresh salsa with homemade nachos or on a yummy omelet at either breakfast, lunch or dinner. Fruit salsas make great pot luck or brunch additions and go well with both chips, crackers or breads. Obviously, salsa is a versatile treat that can add spice and flavor to just about any plain meal.

Here is my favorite traditional salsa recipe that we make at home; I know you'll love it too.

Harry's Easy Salsa at Home

3 Roma tomatoes, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
Just a little cilantro - Unless you like cilantro a lot, then add more
Pinch of fresh basil
2 cloves garlic
Juice from a whole lime
1 tomatillo, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper with the seeds out - Unless you like it hotter, then leave the seeds in.
Salt and pepper as you like it ;-)
