Saw this rather interesting Salsa / dip at a Medical Practitioners website and noticed that most of the recipes didn't contain any fat / oil and worked on the basis of vegetables releasing their own liquid and that helped in cooking. I tried a few recipes from that website, and this is one we loved a lot.
Pair it up with pretty much anything from crudités to nachos to wafers or even chapati / tortillas or in burritos. Salsas are also enjoyed with baked tortila chips and guac. Its vegan, Gluten Free and fat free - couldn't ask for more, isnt it? Another almost fat-free recipe is this very delicious Mint-Pea Soup. Be sure to check it out .....

Though the word salsa means any kind of sauce in Spanish, in English, it refers specifically to these Mexican table sauces, especially to the chunky tomato-and-chili-based pico de gallo, as well as to salsa verde. (source-Wikipedia)
