Make these a part of your party repertoire!
Everybody loves a good salsa or dip, but most traditional versions of the party staples are packed with fat and unhealthy ingredients. One serving of pre-packaged ranch dip, for example, contains around six grams of fat and three grams of saturated fat. Our skinny, low calorie salsa & dip recipes are made with healthier alternatives to help you enjoy them without guilt. For instance, we swap yogurt in place of a cream base, and use rich spices for flavoring instead of loading up on high-fat ingredients like cheese.
When prepared correctly, salsa is a natural nutritional powerhouse that is low in calories. It’s based on the delicious and nutritious tomato, a superfood packed with vitamins and antioxidants. You can make any salsa dip your own by adding more veggies, sliced tropical fruit or jalapenos for some added heat.
