Salsa

[JacksdadShane 65]

Ok so I have been craving salsa. I am 5 weeks post op and got the ok for cheese so I can make chips out if cheese. They said I could have salsa if it doesnt have seeds. Anyone know of any salsa without seeds?

Would the Quest chips work with your salsa ?

[JacksdadShane 65]

very possibly but not sure what that is lol.

I ate a lot of salsa just after surgery. I didn't get any guidance on seeds, so I just threw my regular salsa in the blender and puréed it just to be safe.

Quest chips are like Quest Protein bars... but chips. They are high Protein and no/low carb, and the longer you go without eating any actual tortilla chips the more they start to taste "normal". Personally, I couldn't live without them.

I make my own salsa. I cut the tomatoes and jalapeños and pull the seeds from them. I roast them for great flavor first! Yummy!!!

Not sure I am savy enough to make my own lol. as far as Quest chips I am only 6 weeks post op and havent been cleared for anything like chips.

I also make my own salsa and it is very easy! I eat a lot of it. Just had some for dinner with cheese and cucumbers.

Can of whole tomatos

1/2 jalapeno (with seeds scraped out)

2 cloves garlic

1/2 onion

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp garlic salt

1 bunch cilantro (or I use dried cilantro and just dump some in - 1 to 2 tbsp. maybe)

Salt & pepper to taste

1 tbsp. (or so) of lime juice

Dump it all in a blender and liquefy. I don't like chunky salsa.

I taste and add what I think it needs - usually a tad more salt and/or more lime juice and/or cilantro. The recipe actually also calls for 1 tsp of sugar but I haven't been using that since surgery. honestly it probably wouldn't be a problem since it is such a small amount; I just chose not to.

I make the Pioneer Woman salsa and make sure I get all the seeds out of the peppers.

Regular tortilla chips = big and fat, where you came from !!!! I can't stress that enough. Qwest chips ONLY, low fat cheese on occasion ONLY, NO FAT CHEESE more regularly, or they'll never quit calling you fat and the wonderful tool of By Pass will be wasted on you. THE TRUTH . I eat salsa ( any and all types daily ) with no problems.
