Healthier Salsa

I am a HUGE salsa fan. Salsa and pico are both very healthy and can be a nice topping to a grilled meat or on top of a salad. If you use salsa instead of salad dressing, you cut the fat and carbs out and it is delicious with shredded chicken, romaine, avacado and lime. You could add beans and corn, but that would just increase the carbs.

Ingredients
3-4 large tomatoes
1/3 of a red onion
juice from 1 lime
a bunch of cilantro (chop or food process very fine)
1 small green chili (chop or food process very fine)
1-2 tsp of ground cumin (to taste)
a few shakes of garlic powder and onion powder
salt to taste (I use half salt or ground sea salt)
*optional* 2-3 drops of stevia (if you want a little sweetness)

Directions
Leave out 1 tomato and food process all ingredients. Chop extra tomato into small chunks. Mix into salsa and add seasoning, let sit an hour in refridgerator and taste to adjust seasons....
