Prepping for the next Kids Food Festival is in full swing! So this month, we’re sharing Cricket’s signature Kids Food Festival Fresh, Flavorful + Fun Salsa! This colorful concoction shakes up boring salsa recipes by adding kid-friendly fresh fruit. Join Cricket at the Kids Food Festival this February 28th + March 1st at New York City’s Bryant Park to make this recipe with her!
Ingredients:
4 tomatoes
1 mango
2 kiwifruit
1 seedless cucumber
2 different colored bell peppers
1 15.5-ounce can cannellini beans
1 8-ounce can corn
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
2 limes
olive oil, to taste
salt and pepper, to taste
chips (baked chips for a healthier option)
Instructions:
- Dice tomatoes, strawberries, mango, kiwifruit, cucumber, and peppers and place in a medium mixing bowl.
- Add beans and corn to the bowl and stir together.
- Tear or chop cilantro leaves and add to the bowl.
- Dress salsa with lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper, to taste. Mix well and eat with chips!
Tips & Tricks:
- Dice the ingredients small, so you can challenge your children to fit as many colors as they can into one bite!
- Kids can help cut fruits and vegetables with a kid-friendly safety knife.
- Even the youngest helpers can wash the produce and tear the fresh herbs.
- Give them options! Ask kids to pick three favorite fruits instead of the fruits listed above; have the family choose between cilantro and mint.
