SAUCY SALSA SALAD DRESSING
This is just plain good! Pour this low fat dressing over taco salad, omelets, nachos, sliced avocado, enchiladas, grilled chicken, or use as a dip for vegetables or tortilla chips. Spicy, with just a hint of sweetness! I love it! Very easy to make, but NOT short on taste! I think this would also make a great dressing for a corn or black bean salad! Anyone up for experimenting?

Tips:
- Fresh ingredients: Use fresh, ripe ingredients for the best flavor. This includes using fresh tomatoes, cilantro, and lime juice. If you can, try to use organic ingredients whenever possible.
- Balance the flavors: This dressing is all about balance. The sweetness of the tomatoes and honey is balanced by the acidity of the lime juice and the spiciness of the jalapeño. If you find that the dressing is too sweet, add more lime juice. If it's too spicy, add more honey.
- Use a blender: A blender is the best way to get a smooth and creamy dressing. If you don't have a blender, you can use a food processor, but the dressing may not be as smooth.
- Chill the dressing before serving: This dressing is best served chilled. This allows the flavors to meld together and mellow out a bit.
- Use the dressing on a variety of dishes: This dressing is great on salads, tacos, burritos, and even grilled chicken or fish.
Conclusion:
This easy salsa salad dressing is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's made with fresh, healthy ingredients and has a great balance of flavors. Next time you're looking for a quick and easy dressing, give this recipe a try - you won't be disappointed!
