SALSA WITH PITA CHIPS
Posted by Carole-Anne on December 30, 2007
At Healthy Recipes, we try to find simple nutritious recipes for busy people.The Salsa with Pita Chips is just that recipe. It is made with whole wheat pita bread and is one of my very favorites, as it only takes minutes to prepare, is healthy, and serves 12 people.
INGREDIENTS:
4 medium tomatoes (use Roma tomatoes if you have them) peeled and seeded. Healthy Recipes secret of the day is: blanch tomatoes in boiling water, then place them in ice cube cold water for a minute – viola – the tomatoes will peel like a dream.
Chop tomatoes into small cubes
2 tbsp chopped Spanish onion
1/2 cup fresh sliced cilantro
1 tsp white vinegar
1 tsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
One package (12 ounces) whole wheat pita bread
NOW FOLLOW ME:
Pre-heat oven to 400F.
In a large bowl, add chopped tomatoes, onions and cilantro. Mix lightly, vinegar and lemon juice ingredients into the large bowl. Chill in refrigerator while preparing pita bread.
Cut each pita bread round with a pizza cutter, first into halves, then cut into triangles.
Arrange pita triangles on a baking sheet, put into the oven and bake for approximately 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown on each side. Remove from oven and set aside.
Place healthy salsa dip mix into a fancy dip bowl, and arrange the pita triangles around the dip, pleasing to the eye.
How easy is this? Serve this dandy Healthy Recipe’s appetizer with a nice cold refreshing brew in fancy beer glasses. Now that’s class!
Healthy Recipe serves 12.
