I don’t need an excuse to dip into some taste-bud-tingling salsa, but if you need one, Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner. Bake some low-fat tortilla chips and enjoy one of these naturally low-fat salsas:

• Fresh Salsa
• Mango-Black Bean Salsa
• Mango-Tomato Salsa
• Avocado, Bean and Corn Salsa
• Peach Salsa
• Salsa Verde

Or take your pick of these authentic salsas from Chelsie Kenyon, About's Guide to Mexican Cuisine. Once you’ve made your own, you won’t be satisfied with bottled salsas again.
