Last week I outed the most pesticide-ridden produce, the Dirty Dozen that you should most definitely buy organic! But just because some fruits and veggies carry excessive pesticide residues, it doesn’t mean you have to switch to 100% organics. Lots of fruits and veggies remain safe to buy conventionally. Here’s a list of the Clean 15 with links to delicious, healthy recipes.

Onions Terrific diced raw in salsas or summer gazpacho, roasted along with sweet potatoes, or sliced thick atop a juicy burger.

Avocado Toss with grilled chicken, watermelon cubes, cilantro, diced jalapeno and lime juice for a yummy summer salad.

Sweet Corn Delicious right off the cob.

Pineapple Slice into yogurt, grill thick slices to accompany mahi mahi, or toss into fruit salad or smoothies.

Mango Cube and eat with avocado, puree and freeze into popsicles, or add to chicken salad.

Asparagus Perfect sauteed and added to risotto and pasta dishes.

Sweet Peas Forget canned peas! Add fresh or frozen peas to Indian curry dishes for a sweet flavor burst.

Kiwi One the best vitamin C sources available, and you can eat the tangy skin. No need to peel.

Cabbage Move over soggy cole slaw. Slice into thin ribbons, saute, and add to stir fries or Thai noodle dishes for a terrific nutrient boost.

Eggplant Don’t fry this lovely purple veggie! Roast, cube, and toss into any salsa or hummus. Eggplant pairs wonderfully with coconut milk, so add to any green or red curries.

Papaya I have difficulty finding fresh, delicious papaya. But when I do, it’s amazing sliced with a squeeze of lime juice.

Watermelon The quintessential summer fruit. Perfect on it’s own, but delicious paired with fish or served with crispy shredded duck or pork.

Tomato I’m skeptical about this listing. Tomatoes were on the Dirty Dozen list not to long ago, and the EWG can’t explain the change. I’d still buy these babies organic.

Sweet Potato Microwave, spread with a little butter and brown sugar, and, voila, you have a delicious, nutrient-packed breakfast. Try it!
