Hi Amazing Kids! I would like to share a dish I love—Pear Salsa. As a new school year unfolds, I hope you will consider this easy-to-make recipe a refreshing afterschool snack. Besides tasting good, pears are good for you; in fact, pears are low in calories, contain no saturated fats or cholesterol, and are full of vitamins and minerals. Enjoy this healthy treat!

Hugs! <3 Remmi!
