Salsa is practically the perfect food. Not only does it pair well with chips and guac, it's also oftentimes relatively low in calories and made with veggies. But finding a super healthy salsa that has high-quality ingredients can sometimes be tricky.
Many store-bought salsas have unnecessary preservatives like xanthan gum and guar gum. If you want to avoid these, look for salsas made with acids, including vinegar or citrus juices like lemon, lime, or orange juice. It's also important to look for any added sugar, because depending on the flavor you like, some types may be loaded with sugar and/or high-fructose corn syrups.
So if you're looking for a healthy salsa you can pick up at the store tonight, here are 6 salsas with the highest quality ingredients that also have zero preservatives and are low in sugar.
