This refreshing salsa is best when served chilled or at room temperature. It also goes great with corn chips or mixed into a salad with lettuce.

Snap peas are nutritious and filling, yet not as high in total carbohydrates and fats as normal peas. The soft and tender pods of snap peas are crisp, sweet, and succulent, and they make a great addition to meat and fish dishes.
Saute the snap peas with the ginger, lemon zest and tamari sauce.

Another tasty and healthy leafy green vegetable. Chard is an excellent source of pro-vitamin A carotenoids, vitamin C and a good source of potassium and magnesium. And, the bitter flavor sometimes associated with Swiss chard fades when cooking or sauteing.
We like the chard best sauteed with a little olive oil and a dash of balsamic vinegar and some salt and pepper.

Asparagus tips are not just flavorful, but very healthy as well. They are high in folate (vitamin B9), essential for a strong cardiovascular system, high in protein, dietary fiber, and a good source of iron, magnesium, zinc, selenium, and calcium.
Saute the asparagus with a little sesame or peanut oil 9or steam or boil them) and top with sesame seeds.
