Re: Food Thread
Easy no cook summer recipes to impress the ladies.
1.
Chop figs and avocado and mix together.
Optional mix in chopped pistachio nuts and dried cranberries.
Get kale or collard greens or similar dark green leaf.
Chop leaf mix all together for salad or use leaf whole wrap the mix in the leaf like a burrito.
Sprinkle with chocolate covered almonds and a square of dark chocolate on the side.
2.
Chop avocado and mango. Mix together and add lemon juice.
Mound the mix in center of plate.
Cut smoked salmon into bite size strips.
Decorate the avocado and mango with the salmon. Either cover the mound with the salmon or encircle it.
Sprinkle with an herb like sage.
Garnish with a sprig of some herb.
3.
Mix the following in a bowl until smooth.
60% Cream cheese, 25% sour cream, 15% yogurt. - you can experiment with the numbers.
Add in dark chocolate chips or other light flavoring. You can use flavored yogurt.
You can eat plain on graham crackers or something similar but it is best used as a no sugar cake frosting.
4.
Buy pre-cooked beets - NOT in a can. Gold and red mixed together work best but gold is hard to find so just use what is available. If you can't find pre-cooked then boil fresh ones the day before.
Strain the the juice into glasses and drink.
Slice beets. You can sometimes buy pre-sliced.
Layer with goat cheese. Preferably flavored such as honey or herb.
Sprinkle with crushed pistachios and some colorful herb that will blend well such as mint, sage, fennel or paprika.
Garnish with a sprig of something.
5.
There are very few kitchen products I suggest buying. Buy a Yonana machine. It turns frozen fruit into delicious no sugar added soft serve ice cream.
