Kiwi Salsa





     Fresh Kiwi in December are one of the great winter treats in California.  This December, Bay View classes received a box of local kiwis from Aptos Kiwi Farm.  Students had a marvelous time tasting the kiwis in nutrition class.  In the garden, students combined kiwis with tangerines to make a scrumptious kiwi salsa.

*3 to 4 California kiwifruit, peeled and diced (1-1/2 cups)
