HCG Diet Recipes for Salsa

I’m adding my own family salsa recipe. More than just a recipe, this is an expanded “how to” for making your own salsa blends.  As my grandmother used to say- salsa is an art, not a science. Feel free to express yourself through your own salsa concoction!

Hcg Diet Salsa Recipe #1:  HCG Diet Recipe for Salsa with Mexican Flare!

This recipe can be modified to taste and is acceptable on most protocols for phases 2 and 3 of the HCG diet.

Boil red tomatoes and one chili pepper.  When tomatoes are soft, pull the skin off.  Put the tomatoes and chili pepper in a blender with plenty of water and lots of salt.  Vary the flavor using any of the following- garlic, stevia, cilantro, onion, thyme, oregano.
There are literally hundreds of variations for this and every Mexican Salsa starts here!

Can also add hamburger/sausage, Parmesan, mushrooms, etc to make an Italian sauce.

Salsa Recipe #2:   HCG Diet Recipe for Phase 2 and Phase 3

• 2 plum tomatoes, diced
• 2 teaspoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

In sauce pan add lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook until the tomatoes soften.
Remove from heat, stir in cilantro.  Allow to cool a little before serving.

Salsa Recipe #4:   HCG Diet Recipe for Phase 2

• 1/2 small red onion, chopped
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped well
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (more or less to taste)
• 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained well
• 1-2 Jalapeno chopped well (more or less to desired preference)

In a blender, pulse the onion, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeno, garlic and salt.  Once desired texture is reached, add the drained tomatoes and pulse until combined.

Tip:  If you prefer thicker or chunky salsa, take care not to over process. – a very few pulses should do the trick. Transfer to a bowl and serve. Feel free to make extra and keep in the refrigerator for next time!
