Cooking with Nutrition Recipe:
our fresh spring pico

try this simple raw salsa- this is Beau's favorite condiment in the world. We throw it on salad for some bright, hot flavor - throw it on a taco (great with our plant based tacos- or a fish taco) - throw it on top of your brown rice and chicken bowls! throw it on top of an egg! Throw it on top of your avocado sprouted grain toast!

This salsa is easy to make, and a great way get some added nutrition and bold, bright flavor. 

what's in it?

1/2 of a white or yellow onion- diced
2- green onion stalks- chopped
1 jalapeno (seeds removed if you don't want the medium- heat)
1 SERRANO or fresno chile (seeds removed or face the extreme heat) - diced
1/2 of a large red bell pepper - diced
3 TB. fresh cilantro - minced
1 Roma tomato - diced
1 handful (1/2 cup) cherry or plum tomatoes - diced
