ME neither!
In my mind, the uncooked fruits and vegetables that make up a raw food diet are welcomed more than ever, in the midst of a New York Summer! Nothing beats a refreshing slice of golden honeydew or juicy watermelon, nor the satisfaction of a cool, summer salad!
I finally put those vegetables to use that I purchased at the farmers market, by making a chopped cucumber-tomato salad with a light, homemade basil dressing, hand picked from my new basil plant!
Basil dressing:
2 cups basil
1/2 cup olive oil
3 garlic cloves
1/4 cup lemon juice (or less)
Tbsp of Stevia (optional)
Blend all ingredients until smooth and garnish with pine nuts! Stevia cuts the acidity/sourness of the lemons, so it really does make this so much tastier! Add more olive oil, if dressing becomes too thick, and feel free to cut recipe in half. I made a copious amount that will last me all week. But God knows I'm going to be putting it on anything and everything. It is THAT GOOD.
Sweet Greens,
