Here’s a fresh, high-fibre, plant-powered recipe to keep that digestive system happy and moving along as it should. (no heavy poop or bloated bellies weighing you down here!)
Papaya Avocado Berry Salad - serves 2 Combine the following in a medium bowl: - 1 medium papaya, diced - 1 medium avocado, diced - ¾ cup jicama*, diced - ⅓ cup fresh berries, sliced or whole - 2 Tbs or 4 halves walnuts, chopped & toasted Then make the dressing: Berry Balsamic Salad Dressing - 2 cups mixed fresh berries, frozen thawed ok (like blackberries, blueberries, strawberries and raspberries) - ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil - ¼ cup balsamic vinegar - 1 Tb fresh citrus juice (like lemon, lime or orange juice) - 2 tsp honey, unpasteurized - 1 tsp Dijon or spicy mustard - 1/8 teaspoon Himalayan Pink or Grey/Celtic Sea salt - Freshly ground pepper to taste Optional additions: to kick your dressing up a notch, add 1 small clove garlic, chopped &/or 1 Tb finely chopped fresh thyme leaves. In a blender or mini food processor, puree berries. Place a small strainer over a bowl. Pour pureed berries into strainer, pressing with the back of a spoon to remove the seeds. Return pureed berries to blender or food processor. Add all remaining ingredients except oil; process until smooth. Add the oil slowly (by teaspoons), again until smooth. Taste, then add more honey, salt and pepper if desired. Gently toss the salad with 2-3 Tbs of the dressing. Enjoy! *If substituting for raw jicama, try using a crisp green apple. You can also try celery, which provides the same crunch you get from jicama, or Asian Pear, radish or seeded cucumber. |
