The Why:  It’s spicy and delicious and low in calories. Pace has been around for more than 60 years and, to tell you the truth, I would never have guessed they’d come out with a salsa this good. (www.pacefoods.com/products)

The Health Bonus: It’s so low in calories.

What We Liked Best:  A fairly “clean” label – meaning all the ingredients can be pronounced by a 10-year-old.  And the taste – according to the company they have “hand-selected jalapeños and chunks of tomatillos, seasoned with a splash of lime and spiked with smoked Spanish paprika.”

What We Liked Least: Added sugar is very low on the ingredients list, and probably isn’t needed at all.

What It Replaces: Fattening dips and sauces.

The Price: A suggested retail price of $3.49 for a 16-ounce bottle.

Other Offerings: Mexican Four Cheese Salsa Con Queso, Pico De Gallo, Triple Pepper Salsa, Tequila Lime Salsa.

Where to Buy: Target, Wal-Mart, major grocery chains nationwide.
