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 [...]
The theme of pairing watermelon with tomato continues. I’m a big one for having multiple options for similar ingredients, because there’s a lot to be said for getting into a groove of having a consistent family of ingredients in the house at any given time. You just gotta know what to do with them so [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
Why isn’t tomato paired with tangerine more frequently, I wonder? It’s a great combination… gorgeous on the plate, and the sweetness of the tangerine pairs so nicely with the acid in the tomatoes! This particular recipe has so many uses. You can serve as-is. You can add fresh greens and toss for a green salad, [...]
… and not that ground-up cauliflower “mashed potatoes” raw foodists try to pass off as the real thing. One thing I’ve said is that, if you want real mashed potatoes, just have the real cooked thing as it will never be possible in the raw world. Well, today I’m eating my words. If you’re a [...]
I love savory fruit salads, especially when the weather warms up. This one uses just a few completely pedestrian ingredients to give you something that’s both juicy and luscious. My son’s summation: “This salad is awesome.” You could feast on this quite satisfyingly for supper, but I could have this for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. [...]
