summer on a salad

italian dressing
(by Alissa Cohen, Living On Live Food pg 471)

The longer you let this one sit, the better it tastes.

1 cup olive oil
1 cup fresh basil
1 cup fresh parsley
1/2 cup dried Italian seasoning
2 scallions
2 teaspoons onion
1 lemon, juiced
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Blend & chill for at least one hour.

tastes like summer on your salad :)
yum yum yum!!!
(i make 1/2 recipe for just the 2 of us, but often)

ps. my order of books has arrived
if anyone is looking to obtain one,
let me know :)

garden time!

the best time to be a raw foodie is the summer for sure!
the fresh fruit & veggies that are getting ripe for
pick & eat are juicy flavorful and deeeelishus!
:)
happy happy tastebuds, yumm!
my first real harvest:

lots of kale, collard, lettuce, herbs, & snap peas
tho i did have a tremendous amount of weeding to do
when i returned home from france. they were knee high,
hiding the veggies well. it was all that rain. wow!

first thing i did upon harvesting, was to blend a salad dressing
using garden herbs and some raw nuts, assorted other things
for a yummy green salad topping dressing.
what makes it easy and clean to apply was putting it into
a squeeze bottle (with a tip like from a mustard bottle)
eeeasy application, and darned right pretty results too.

i hope you are all enjoying the summer bounty
whether from your own gardens, farmers markets
or the local produce being offered in your grocery stores.
(better yet, gifts from friends & family's gardens- tee hee)

joy happiness and plenty of raw food!
