You may have tried many versions of the vibrant Mexican salsa. Everyone likes to toss in some jalapenos or add tomatillos to make their heart leap when they want a comforting dip for their tacos. But, ever thought of adding kiwis to your salsa bowl? If not, then this is what you should try next. If healthy eating is your thing, don’t think twice to cut these fruits into your salsa bowl. You will get the goodness of vitamins A, C and K and omega 3 fatty acids. Kiwis are also a rich source of serotonin which can help you sleep better. Fruits are also good for diabetics.

Now, when you’re confident in making salsa out of kiwi, how do you go about business? Nutritionist Pooja Makhija is here to help with an easy recipe for her version of kiwi salsa. She chooses Chilean kiwis that are not fully ripe. Semi-ripe kiwis balance the sweetness with a unique tartness. Peel them and cut them in a bowl. Add chopped onions, cilantro and jalapeos to make it spicy. To add a tangy tartness, add lime juice. Complete the recipe by adding salt and chili flakes. While mixing the ingredients, be careful not to mash the kiwi. Check out Pooja’s recipe here:
