The top of the day to you
Grape Tomatoes are in season now so I thought I'd experiment a bit with them
and lo and behold they're also on sale. I also bought some Sun Dried Tomatoes
soaked in Olive Oil and Sea Kelp at the Health Food Store the other day. Now
that's something not to miss out in your life.
When I got through of some tree work today along with a good bike ride I wanted
something quick and easy but very nourishing. Check out this salad I made and
it's one of those salads that you definitely do not need a salad dressing on
it. If you put a salad dressing on it, it would actually ruin it.
The INGREDIENTS:
- One half pint of Grape Tomatoes (per person)
- 2 heaping tablespoons of the Sun Dried Tomatoes (per person)
- One half of an Avocado (one half of a Florida Avocado or one whole California Haas Avocado per person)
- 2 Non waxed Pickling Cucumbers
- 1 small Yellow Summer Squash
- 1 small Zucchini Squash
- 1 Orange Bell Pepper
- One quarter teaspoon of Sweet Basil
- One hand full of Organic Mixed Greens (I always use them as it's so much faster than washing off all the Lettuces and such to put in the salad)
- 1 Stick of Celery
:
In a large Salad Bowl put the hand full of Organic Mixed Greens then the chopped
Celery. On top of all that cut the Cucumbers, Yellow & Zucchini Squash into
paper size slices with a cheese slicer. Now sprinkle the One quarter teaspoon
of Sweet Basil on top of all that.
Now cut the Bell Pepper into small cubes and throw the Grape Tomatoes on top
of that. Now spread the Sun Dried Tomatoes all over the top of that. Now cut
the Avocado in half and gut the seed out of it. The dice up the Avocado while
still in the shell into several tic tac toe sections. Now scoop it out with
a soupspoon all over the salad.
Now get two wooden spoons and start tossing the dickens out of it to get all
the juices and oils from the Sun Dried Tomatoes mixed well. This is unbelievably
delicious.
The roofers who were over yesterday told me they hated salads but when I gave
them a bite of this, I had to make another one for me as they devoured that
one up in no time.
Enjoy this, as it's so simple and so doggone good for you. If you want to just
make a meal out if then that's ok too. Just make one big enough to where you'll
feel full. A smaller one before a meal will do as well.
Let me ask you…what did you see this morning when you first went outside
to get that breath of fresh air that was very positive? Look for it in nature
and let that set the tone for your day. Nature has such a cool way of putting
you in the right mood when we open up to the sounds and the smells and the sights
of the sky and trees. Best to you as you continue to strive to make a positive
difference.
