Recipe: Grilled Salmon with Strawberry Ginger Salsa–Issue 03
This recipe is extremely easy and so delicious - it is full of vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids, as well as anti-inflammatory properties. You can tone down the heat by adding a little less ginger, especially if you have kids. And since strawberries are coming into season, this is a perfect way to use them.
According to the Environmental Working Group, when it comes to pesticide residues, non-organic strawberries are still the worst offender, so be sure to choose organically grown strawberries.
