I’m so excited to share my recipe for Fire Roasted Salsa with you this week! Once you start removing sugar from your diet, you start realizing that there are a bunch of types of food that are difficult to find replacements for. You would think it would just be desserts but condiments are very difficult to come by. The first several months I think mustard was pretty much the only option available. I don’t even like mustard!
So I very quickly had to come up with a salsa that was was easy to make, stored well and tasted awesome. After a few batches I finally came up with a recipe that I now eat on almost everything. In fact I couldn’t imagine my morning eggs without it! It’s also vegan, vegetarian, soy free, gluten free, and dairy free as well as being sugar free so pretty much anyone can enjoy it. You can find a list of other Sugar Free Condiments at the Grocery Store here.
If you happen to make a batch, send me a picture. I would love to see it!

When do you add the onions?
An excellent question. This recipe has been on my site for years and no one has noticed I left the onions totally out of the equation. I can’t believe I did that so thanks! I added them to the recipe but you grill them with the other veggies. Thanks again!
Thanks! I did actually do that, but wasn’t sure if that was correct.
Sorry about the confusion.
