What a great salad. Seriously folks, if you haven’t tried any savory fruit salads, give this one a try! My 20-yr-old son who does not like tomatoes loved it. And the dressing… it’s amazing what you can do with fresh corn and zucchini! Here we have the sweetness of crunchy watermelon mixed with the [...]
I could eat this every day, for any meal. In fact, if you would kindly rummage a plate up for me now, I’d be quite pleased, thank you. It’s lusciously juicy, creamy, crunchy, sweet… with a bit of good salt to perk things up all the more. And completely pedestrian. No exotic superfoods here or [...]
This is a non-fat recipe with no added sugar, and a non-savory (no onions, no garlic, no olive oil) way to enjoy the health benefit of your jucy summer tomato harvest! If you’re trying to lose weight, if you’re watching your sugar, if you follow a Weight Watchers program, or looking to increase your tomato [...]
At times this is a staple in our house. It’s just so brainlessly easy to make, and so ridiculously delicious, I love having it on the table to go owith whatever else is rummaged up. Fresh papaya is so succulent and rich… like juicy butter! It’s such a wonder that it has no fat in [...]
Okay, so clearly this isn’t true “pesto”, and as it has neither onions nor garlic, it’s not really a “salsa” either. But you get the gist… call it what you like, just call it good. And you can always add some red onions or a bit of fresh garlic to this recipe, or sprinkle some [...]
The way tomatoes taste in heaven… This is a sweet, tropical answer to the Bloody Mary, and I’ll bet you’ve never had anything like it! The intent of this recipe was to make a Tomato-Rose Sorbet sweetened with Mango, made creamy with Zucchini, and made aromatic with Rose Water. But it was so delicious, I [...]
This makes for a very pretty first course, buffet side dish, or a main dish salad for one. It’s super-easy and made from ingredients so easy to pick up at your local grocery store… or perhaps you even have all the items growing in your own garden! Tomatoes, zucchini, tomatillo, fresh basil… paired with garlic, [...]
This is a serious beta carotene blast with explosive ginger flavor! And it retains a smooth, creamy texture in the freezer, unlike many raw sorbets which get kinda “sharp” and hard pretty quickly. I made a Ginger Float outa my portion… I scooped some of the Carrot-Mango-Ginger sorbet into a bowl and poured some of [...]
Raw sorbets commonly get “sharp” and crystalline when frozen. This one however remains smooth and creamy, without the use of any nut milks or oils. It’s also naturally sweet enough that you don’t have to add a sweetener, if you prefer to minimize the sweets (in fact, it has a faintly “grapefruit” freshness without grapefruits [...]
What a lovely texture… and you can whip this up in minutes! Easy ingredients, all fresh, all wholesome… and there’s no way you’ll find this combination in any store! Fresh mango paired with fresh blueberries, quality vanilla (in this case, some richly fragrant vanilla from Mexico) and natural sweetener whips up lickety-split in your blender [...]
