I keep finding that alot of the salsa's out there are really high in sugars can you recommend one that is low or sugar free? I'd really like to try this recipe but I want to stay as close to the Phase 1 diet as I can. I've lost between 7-9 pounds so far my weight fluctuates daily. Thanks if you have any suggestions.

Are the sugars added or are they natural sugars from the tomatos? I have no trouble finding SF salsa's, look for the mexican brands, if you read the ingredients they usually only have veggies--no sugar or anything added! The nutritional label may say sugar, but if its not in the ingredients that means its just the naturally occuring sugars.

I'm fortunate because we grow an abundance of tomatos, jalepenos and cilantro and I make and can my own so I have homemade salsa all year long!

Muir Glen has only one gram of sugar in their medium salsa, and they taste good! Here's a link to the website. They are manufactured by general mills and the line is organic too!
