Tips

Summer is Here!

Summer is finally here in full swing.  After an unseasonably chilly May, we've got some sunshine!! Summer always gets me in the mood for lots of fresh, raw veggies and fruits, and for grilling!  Strawberry season is among us and they couldn't taste better right out of the garden.  Did you know that berries are a low-glycemic, low-fructose, nutrient-powerhouse?   This time of year, I love to make fresh salads with walnuts and strawberries and  greens also straight out of the garden.  Add some blueberries or strawberries to smoothies with coconut milk and avocado, for a rich delicious treat.
Here's the recipe for the salad that I love!:
  • 5-6 cups mixed greens
  • 1/2 cup of strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 cup of walnut pieces
  • 1/2 cucumber, chopped
  • Sliced red onion 
  • Crumbled Goat's milk feta (optional)
  • Grilled chicken breast, chopped
Add all ingredients together in bowl or on plate.


For the Dressing:
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (I use California Olive Ranch_)_
  • 1 tablespoon of Bragg's raw apple cider vinegar 
  • 1 tablespoon of organic balsamic vinegar
  • Herbs of choice.
Whisk together and use on salad.
