delicious fruit salsa

1 cup diced fresh strawberries
1 cup peeled and diced fresh kiwi
1 cup peeled and diced apples
1 orange

Mix all ingredients together then slice orange in half and squeeze orange juice over mixture. Then zest orange peel and mix into salsa. Delicious with homemade (unhealthy) cinnamon sugar chips. I have only tried this with the cinnamon sugar chips, but look forward to trying it over fish, chicken or over a salad to make it more nutritious. This is a favorite!

Grilled Salmon



I once again got this recipe from my friend Marci's blog. Looks pretty good. Can't wait to try it! She got this recipe off of the Kraft Foods website.

Recipe:
1/2 cup Kraft Sun-Dried Tomato Vinaigrette
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1 salmon fillet (2 lb), 1 inch thick (you can adjust the proportions for the size fillet that you have)

PREHEAT grill/BBQ to medium heat. Mix dressing, parsley and tomatoes; set aside. Place fish on grill; cover grill with lid.

GRILL 10 min. Brush with dressing mixture; continue grilling 10 min. or until fish flakes easily with fork.
