    Eat your vitamins to help prevent getting sick this winter with this refreshing clementine salsa

    Clementine Salsa from Living Well Kitchen

    My friend Lauren is the best and knows exactly how to make me happy: a giant bag of citrus fruit!

    We're talking like 30 clementines, some naval oranges, and a few grapefruits. SO EXCITED!

    I'm trying not to get sick, so I'm making sure to get enough sleep, exercise, and eat my fruits & veggies.

    clementine salsa - 2

    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, so salsa it is!

    clementine salsa - 3

    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.

    It's hard to beat the happiness I feel when something that is tasty & versatile is also incredibly healthy. Enjoying your fruits & veggies is much more enjoyable than swallowing a pill (whether it's medicine to help ease your symptoms or vitamins to help prevent getting sick).
