Corn-Melon Salsa

Salsa is an ideal snack choice for runners. Low in calories, it provides loads of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, while helping boost your fruit and vegetable intake. This refreshing summertime combination of fresh corn, cantaloupe, and red bell pepper is delicious as a prerun snack with whole grain tortilla chips, but you can also use it as a flavor-packed topping for grilled chicken or fish.
