[Fitness, Health and Happiness]: Guest Series: Clean Eating Apple Salsa {Tiffany}

Please welcome Tiffany of The Gracious Pantry. About 3 months ago The Gracious Pantry was one of my go-to resources when I started clean eating. Great resources and information ranging from 6 Tips for Getting Started Now to How to Convert Your Pantry to Clean Eating. Have I mentioned the recipes?

This recipe is actually a salad recipe I learned when I lived in Germany. Only there, the focus was more on the onions than on the apples.

While I love onions, I do have to live with a few other people in this house and figured it was best for their sake if I placed a bit more emphasis on the apples. What I ended up with was a fabulous salsa-type recipe that goes really well with corn chips!

The anise in this isn't really a huge component of the overall flavor until you get to the aftertaste. It's just a slight kick at the end, but it really drives the flavor home. Very unique, very simple, and very tasty.

Hope you enjoy it!

Thank you Tiffany! The recipe looks delicious and definitely something I'll try.

The anise seed is something new to me so, of course, I had to find out more. If you're interested or just curious to know what an anise seed is visit Everything About Anise.
