Salsa - Recipe

Salsa can help you loose some weight, in addition to its mouth watering taste. Let's see how to make salsa and then you'll know from the list of ingredients how it'll help you loose weight.

Ingredients:
4 medium tomatoes, seeded, chopped (2 cups)
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper (1/2 medium) (Optional)
1/2 cup chopped spring onion (Optional)
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 large jalapeno chile (or green chili), seeded, finely chopped (2 tablespoons) (Add more if you like spicy food)
2-4 cloves of garlic (finely minced) (Adjust as per taste)
1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt (to taste) 
Sugar (just a pinch)

Steps:
Mix all the ingredients in a non-metal bowl. Be careful so that you don't crush the ingredients too much. Cover and refrigerate for few hours. 

Once cooled, serve with tortilla (corn) chips or any other snack of your choice. You can add this to your salads as a dressing as well. 

Coming back to the weight loss facts, if you notice the ingredients, jalapeno would help you feel full and you would cut back on other food and reduce calorie intake. Onion and garlic are the natural fat burners. Lemon is another natural immunity booster and fat burner. All in all, multiple things go into salsa making which are beneficial to health. Remember to adjust some of the ingredients as per your liking and health conditions.
