Skinny Fresh Strawberry Salsa

WW Recipe of the Day: Zero Points Skinny Fresh Strawberry Salsa
(29 calories | 0 0 0 myWW *SmartPoints value per serving)

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.

The Weight Watchers Skinny on this Strawberry Salsa

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.

How Many Calories and WW Points in this Fresh Strawberry Salsa Recipe?

This strawberry salsa recipe makes a generous 2 cups of salsa, or about 6 (1/3-cup) servings. And it’s made exclusively from Weight Watchers Zero Points foods.

According to my nutritional estimates each 1/3-cup serving has 29 calories and
0 *SmartPoints (Green plan)
0 *SmartPoints (Blue plan)
0 *SmartPoints (Purple plan)
1 *PointsPlus (Old plan)

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!
