Grape Salsa Request

I had a request to put a shout out for the grape salsa recipe that was shared at the meeting a few weeks back.  Fortunatly, that recipe is a favorite in our family (it was my mother, Gayle, who brought the salsa to the meeting).  I had it handy!!!  Instead of using the bread/baguette that this recipe calls for, we quarter sandwhich thins, then toast them under the broiler.  You get 8 triangles for only 1 point (not including salsa) that way.   ENJOY!!!
