I love to garden!!
I love picking fresh food straight from my garden!
I know how healthy it is and what kind of seeds it is grown with. That is so important to me.
Who has some wonderful tomatoes from your garden? I love tomatoes and I grew these!
Here is one of my favorite recipes!
Fancy Tomato Salad
vegetarian/gluten-free/raw
Serve this salad at room temperature or cold on a hot summer day.
The vegetables in this recipe have natural electrolytes and are very hydrating.
Salad Ingredients:
1 cucumber, sliced
1 red or yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 small–medium onion (sweet, Vidalia, or red), sliced
3 large tomatoes, sliced
Dressing Ingredients:
3 T. balsamic vinegar
3 T. extra-virgin organic olive oil
1 T. honey (optional)
1 T. fresh basil, chopped (or 1⁄2 tsp. dried)
1⁄4 tsp. unrefined, sea salt
Directions:
1. Combine all dressing ingredients and set aside.
2. Combine all salad ingredients and toss in a bowl.
3. Add dressing to salad and toss.
Note: When slicing the vegetables, the bell pepper looks pretty when it is sliced so that it retains it pretty shape all around the middle instead of just slicing it lengthwise strips. The onions look really pretty sliced into rings. The tomatoes can be made into chunks.
Serving size: 2 servings
