Salsa Your Kids will Love

To balance the fruit consumption, kids can get their veggies intake, making great salsa and pairing it with store bought chips.

Vegetables, salsa & chips make a great snack.

Ingredients:

• 1 white onion
• 1/2 bunch cilantro
• 3 tomatoes
• 1 large jalapeno pepper
• 1 small can of chili peppers
• the juice of 2 limes
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 clove garlic (chopped)
• 1/2 tsp. sugar

Instructions:

1) Wash all the vegetables
2) Use the vegetable chopper to chop the onion, cilantro, and tomatoes.
3) Set these ingredients aside.
4) Finely chop the jalapeno and the chilies.
5) Add the jalapeno and the chilies to the tomato mixture.
6) Add the rest of the ingredients and stir well.

Clean your hands well with soap and water after slicing up the veggies to avoid getting the hot pepper into your eyes. The entire family will love the Salsa. Consume right away or refrigerate. There is nothing more yummy than home made salsa. You may never get the pre-made salsa again.

After the ingredients have had time to blend, the salsa is even better. Milder salsa can be prepared by using sweet peppers for the jalapeno and chili peppers. Hotter salsa can be prepared by increasing the onions and peppers.

There is an entire serving of veggies in 1/2 cup of salsa.

The best carrot recipe is one that is healthy and kids will eat. Carrots are rich in vitamins A. Vitamin A promotes the growth of bones and teeth, supports the immune system, and promotes the health of internal cell tissues and the skin.
