(5 from 7 votes)I made this delicious salsa for my online cooking class this morning. The theme was apples so I also made the cookies and the ketchup. For the salsa. .. I added cilantro. It's so good. I'm eating it with a spoon! Thank you for all the great recipes.
I look at the comments to learn what was the experience of people who made the recipe. I wish people would not make posts like “This recipe sounds good and I will try it.” This does not help me to know if I want to try the recipe.
This looks amazing, can’t wait to make!
Saying this in friendship and concern.... I see so many comments on FOK recipes asking about macros. Nutrition facts = healthy! If you're requesting nutrition facts all the time and you're not using an app like cronometer, you should try it out!! Super user-friendly, and then you will always know what you're putting into your body and what you should leave out.
I use the App. Where do you see the nutritional facts?
YUM! This embodies autumn perfectly.
I couldn’t find pomegranates anywhere so I sub’d cherries. I put all finely chopped ingredients into mini food processor and pulsed a few times and the consistency was perfect. Very good flavors.
What are the nutrition facts? It would be so helpful to have this information for those who have medical conditions that require a breakdown of the nutritional facts such as carbs, sodium, etc. Thanks!
You can look at the nutrition facts of the packaged items (syrup, tortillas) and look up the non-labeled items online at NutritionFacts.org and figure it out in just a couple minutes. Or you can use the Cronometer app and it will figure it out for you. Both resources are free.
Looks like a delicious recipe and I can’t wait to try this one out for fall gun!
What are the nutrition facts??
