Ranked lowest to highest: Tomatillo-Green Chili Salsa at 260 mg, Roasted Chili-Corn Salsa at 330 mg, Tomatillo-Red Chili Salsa at 500 mg, Fresh Tomato Salsa at 550 mg. Choosing the lightest instead of the heaviest saves 290 mg — more than dropping cheese, and more than switching from barbacoa to chicken. It is the highest-leverage swap on the menu that costs nothing in calories.
Fresh tomato salsa is the mildest in heat and the heaviest in sodium at 550 mg. Salsa verde is medium heat and 260 mg. Calories separate them by 10, which is irrelevant; the 290 mg sodium gap is not.
