I use salsa alot too. Onions and mushrooms are basically free foods, and if you like them, you can pretty much grill onions with anything. -------------- Failing to plan is like planning to fail!

Ketchup, for example, is loaded with sugar, and so are some salsas and steak sauces. Read labels carefully, and consider this list of condiments to avoid and enjoy: Enjoy: Mustard Horseradish sauce Lettuce Pickles Onions Avoid: Ketchup Cocktail sauce Use sparingly (check labels for added sugar): Salsa Hot sauce Soy sauce Worcestershire sauce Steak sauce Mayonnaise (regular or low-fat) Homemade pico de gallo is one of my favorite condiments!

Chop the cilantro. Place in a medium bowl. Roll the lime around while pressing down on it, then cut in half and squeeze the juice into the bowl with the other ingredients. This made about 3 cups.
