Five recipes from Bob Chambers hit the right notes

You may think that salsas are naturally fat free. Think again. Many use a lot of oil to balance acidic ingredients like lime juice.

These recipes range from a traditional tomato condiment to an innovative sweet and tangy mix of carrots, raisins and pineapple.

Bob Chambers is the executive chef for Lancôme/L'Oréal in New York City.
