This salsa boasts all the flavors of a tropical paradise!
This tropical fruit salsa is sweet, zesty, and everything you love. Scoop some up with baked tortilla chips or use it as a topping for chicken or fish. Either way, and we know you’ll think it’s delicious! Our Tropical Fruit Salsa uses a few different types of tropical fruits, but feel free to make changes, depending on what is in season. For example, substitute a can of unsweetened pineapple chunks (drained) for fresh pineapple, and nectarines make an excellent substitution when mangoes aren’t available.

Since this is basically fresh fruit, I don't understand why it is not zero points. Can you explain?
Yvonne, Because it's a recipe we have to calculate it. You should check with a weight watchers counselor to determine whether you would count points if all of the ingredients are 0 though.
