Tomato salsa is a handy ingredient to have on-hand in the kitchen to make a quick sauce, dip or as a base for soups or stews. It is a healthier alternative to ketchup since it has less sugar. It still contains a lot of salt so you want to keep your portion size to no more than a ¼ cup or 4 tablespoons.
