Eat your vitamins to help prevent getting sick this winter with this refreshing clementine salsa
I'm trying not to get sick, so I'm making sure to get enough sleep, exercise, and eat my fruits & veggies.
Currently, I have three different veggie-filled soups in my fridge. I've been eating butternut squash soup for breakfast, lentil soup for lunch, and roasted garlic and cauliflower soup for dinner.
I'm also eating my delicious clementines to boost my vitamin C intake.
The other day I was searching for some clementine recipes, and most were for cake.
That sounds delicious and all, but not necessarily the direction I'm looking to go. I wanted something interesting that would add more nutrients to my meals. Then I found a recipe for chicken skewers with clementine salsa on Pinterest (the link no longer works), so salsa it is!
This salsa has 2 pounds of clementines (about 10 clementines) and a cucumber. It also has some salt, garlic, cilantro, and jalapeño to add in some savory elements.
I love sweet and savory flavors combined, and this salsa does it well.
Another thing I love about this salsa? It's a refreshing way to get some produce into your day. Even though it's not summer, you should still be able to enjoy a good batch of seasonally fresh salsa.
P.S. If you love making salsa at home, you will also love this homemade low-sodium salsa recipe.
It's hard to beat the happiness I feel when something tasty & versatile is also incredibly nutritious.
