Gorgeous radishes were the
inspiration for this weeks recipe. |
Did you know, June is
National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month? Fruits and vegetables are an essential part of healthy eating. Most are naturally fat-free and low in calories while being packed full of 'good stuff' such as, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. Although it varies some, most adults should eat between 1-1/2 to 2 cups of fruit, and at least 2 to 3 cups of vegetables every day. It's important to note that 1/2 cup of dried fruit should be counted as 1 cup of fruit and 2 cups of raw leafy greens should be counted as 1 cup of vegetables.

Along with eating the recommended quantity of fruits and vegetables, also focus on eating a variety of colors. Think and taste the rainbow! Tomatoes, yellow zucchini, carrots, kale, eggplant, leeks, and chile are just a start. Your local Growers' Market is a great place to shop the rainbow! I found these beautiful radishes at our local growers market and remembered this delicious (and easy!) dip recipe I wanted to share with you. Enjoy!
