New Yorkers across the five boroughs can now share their favorite healthy recipes -- ideally featuring fruits, vegetables and healthy proteins – with fellow New Yorkers!

The Go Healthy staff found this great appetizer/side-dish recipe by the Commissioner of the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs, Jonathan Mintz! Enjoy.
