By comparison, trading in a standard sedan for a hybrid car cuts your carbon footprint by one ton.

Strawberry Salsa Recipe

Why It's Good:

Delicious, fresh, healthy snack food for kids that they help you make—why not prep all the ingredients beforehand and make assembling them a party activity? Here's the recipe:

  Strawberry Salsa



Serves 12

3 to 4 small tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/2 pint strawberries, hulled and diced
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
1 red onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 yellow or orange bell pepper, diced
1 15.5 ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 8 ounce can corn, drained and rinsed
2 limes, juiced
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
Extra virgin olive oil, about 1 tablespoon or to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
Corn tortilla chips (baked chips for a healthier option)

1. Combine tomatoes, strawberries, cucumber, red onion, and peppers in a medium mixing bowl.

2. Add the beans, corn, lime juice, and cilantro to the bowl and mix together gently.

3. Dress the salsa with olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Lightly toss and serve with chips.—Recipe by NYC's KidFresh's Cricket Azima

Why It's Green:

Any of the above ingredients taste better and pack more nutrients if organic—especially the strawberries and peppers.
