My husband decided to make a lovely pork carnitas the other night and since I’m using Weight Watchers I thought it might be nice to make my own salsa to accompany it. We have lovely seckel pears from our CSA that needed to be eaten so I chose them for the salsa; and pear salsa was born. The beauty of this fresh salsa is that each serving is only 1 Weight Watchers point! I hope you enjoy this salsa and make it frequently while pears are in season.

Normally I don’t mix savory and sweet but this sounds good.

I’ve never done points. I’m more of an old school calories kind of gal. This would work with my diet though.
