Carrot Salsa, a healthy option

After indulging and stuffing our pie holes with ham,edam, pasta and fruit salad,
I thought of a healthier appetizer / starter for the San Andres dinner. 
The usual peanuts and cashew nuts are too heavily laden with uric acid,
which could only worsen the pain from my trigger fingers and  arthritis.
Carrot Salsa
These are the ingredients. Mince the garlic,onions, and
tomatoes.  Wash, dry and chop the cilantro.
Saute the garlic in a little bit of oil until  brown.
Add the tomatoes and onions.
Add tomato sauce and 1 jar of Tostitos salsa.
Turn off the heat. Set aside for a couple of minutes before putting the carrots.
Add the grated carrots once salsa is cool.
Season with salt, pepper and sugar,
Add the finely chopped cilantro. Keep refrigerated.
Serve the carrot salsa with corn chips, or nacho chips.
Enjoy!!!
