This is a unique, zesty substitute to store-bought salsas and sauces, which can contain loads of added sugars, preservatives, and unnecessary oils and sodium. The pineapple chunks in this guilt-free, no-fat salsa provide a very good source of Vitamin C, along with plenty of dietary fiber; and red bell peppers are a great source of vitamins and antioxidants.
