This month I decided to make something out of kiwifruit. Kiwis (also known as Chinese gooseberries) are packed with vitamins C and K, fiber, and antioxidants. They’re sweet and tart. You can eat them with or without the skin in fruit salads, smoothies, desserts, or even in a salsa.

I’d never heard of a kiwi salsa, but I found a recipe on this incredible blog, drizzle me skinny. Here is the link to the blog post which contains 25 recipes using kiwifruit: https://drizzlemeskinny.com/delicious-kiwi-recipes/

After perusing the recipes, I wanted to make them all! But, with my monthly deadline looming, I settled for this recipe for kiwi salsa https://howtomakedinner.com/blog/kiwi-salsa-recipe/#recipe

Please check out this blog. I will definitely be making more of Kate’s recipes. She absolutely gets the concept of eating healthily using fresh ingredients and the idea that we all need to feel like we aren’t depriving ourselves when we do.

The recipe is so easy to follow with simple ingredients. Peel, dice, season, stir, and you have a delicious salsa with very little clean-up and few items to put away. I didn’t add or delete anything. The recipe was perfect as it is. I served the salsa with some tortilla chips. Colorful, flavorful, and just unusual enough to impress your family or guests.
