Zero Point Salsa or Cowboy Caviar - Recipe Diaries (1)

This Zero Point salsa is very similar to Cowboy Caviar.

The weather here in North Dakota has got me dreaming of Summer days out by the lake or in my backyard hanging out in my patio. It STILL hasn't warmed up yet and there are days when it doesn't even get above 30 degrees and it's still snowing. This weekend there's a chance of a snowstorm mixed with rain. How lame and stupid is that when it's the middle of April? Winter seems to last for 6 months here: September through April. Then it's construction season. 🙂

If you prefer blended salsas with tomatoes and onions I've got this Zero Smart Point Salsa recipe as well.

Recipe FAQs

Seasonings You can add to flavor the salsa?

Add some fat free itian dressing to spruce up the flavor. It'd kind of be like a zero point cowboy caviar!

How do you figure out points for recipes?

Nutrition info is calculated with the zero point food included in the recipe. If you’re using the nutrition info to figure out points it might not be the same as what the points are listed in the notes section. I use the recipe builder to calculate points. Myfitness pal for nutrition info.

How to store leftovers?

Always store leftovers in clean, food-grade containers. The type of container doesn’t really matter. Use zip lock, glass, plastic, whatever! Make sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container before putting it in the freezer or fridge.
