WW Recipe of the Day: Zero Points Skinny Fresh Strawberry Salsa
I made this simple strawberry salsa recently to go with the grilled pork we were planning for dinner. If you are a fan of fruit flavored salsas from the jar you owe it to yourself to try this fresh from scratch one.
Skinny Strawberry Salsa
It's based on the Pam Anderson's "Create-Your-Own Fruit Salsa" recipe from her book, The Perfect Recipe for Losing Weight and Eating Great (affiliate link).
Fresh fruit salsas are a delicious way to boost your intake of fruits and vegetables.
Recipe Notes
In her headnotes, Pam explains that you can "use whatever seasonal fruit you've got: mangoes, peaches, nectarines, apricots, plums, oranges, grapefruit, grapes, melons, strawberries, blueberries, apples, or pear. Or use a mix of fruit.
Since it's strawberry season what I had was strawberries.
She goes on to explain that you should choose a bell pepper color to contrast with the fruit, which means I should have used green or yellow to contrast with the strawberries. Unfortunately, I only had a red one so I went with it.

Although my photo doesn't do it justice, this was just the right thing to perk up our pork. It would be great on grilled chicken, shrimp or fish too.
Enjoy!
