There is this one salsa at our city’s Co-Op that is amazing. It comes in three varieties: mild, medium and hot. I like hot. My husband likes medium.
It’s made locally, which I love; got to support my local folks. When you read its label, you get a list of all its ingredients, ingredients you can actually pronounce…ingredients you can buy at the store and have in your own kitchen. I love products like that, because they make me feel safe by knowing I’m not consuming any preservatives or “special ingredients”.But there are foods that are even better than the natural ones you can buy in stores. Do you want to know what they are? They are the foods and recipes you prepare at home. Not only do you have the healthy ingredients, but also you know exactly how the ingredients have been washed, sliced and stored. You know how clean your kitchen is while making your recipe, and the best part is you get to tell your friends and family you made it.
I was determined to make my own Paleo salsa at home. I needed something to accompany my salsa, so I decided to make Paleo Sweet Potato Chips. So fun.
A visual of the making of my potato chips:
You can make the Paleo Salsa and Paleo Sweet Potato Chips together or separately, they both pair extremely well with most meals. Try the salsa on top of eggs or freshly grilled chicken…and the sweet potatoes can be dipped in your favorite condiment, and even in hummus.
They are both great recipes that are not only delicious, but healthy and good for you. I know you’ll enjoy them as much as we do in our household.

That salsa looks great!
Thanks Gary!! Let me know how you like it when you give it a try!
Hi! I’ve been following your site for a long time now and finally got the courage to go ahead and give you a shout out from Austin Tx! Just wanted to say keep up the excellent work!
Great Salsa!!! I added a small can of fire roasted green chile and it made a great salsa even better!
I’d like to make this with fresh tomatoes, instead of canned. Any idea how to do that?
Exactly the same way basically, you can skin the tomatoes first by soaking them in a bowl of boiling water for a few minutes; the skins will fall right off. You can also remove the seeds if you wish. I love it whole, seeds and skin and CHUNKY!
Another cool tip is to toast off the chillies on your gas stove. Just hold them over the flame until they blacken then remove the black skin and add to the salsa.
Awesome; I make my salsa at home the same way. It’s a fantastic recipe.
We cheat with corn chips, but I’m going to make those sweet potato chips. I figure spicy salsa with the sweetness of the potato should equal a HUGE WIN!
Thanks for posting this.
Thanks, Don!
And…my pleasure. 😉
Seriously going to make those chips IMMEDIATELY! Great idea — and baking parchment is one of the best inventions ever…
