Gazpacho Salad

Gazpacho Salad

Don’t wait to try this. It’s simple but exceptional: It’s a hybrid I call ‘Gazpacho Salad’ born of extra gazpacho base & ingredients. It’s my new summer salad favorite (it’s early summer here in South Africa).

Ingredients: chopped lettuces, chopped tomatoes, chopped celery, cucumber, spring onion & chillis topped with blended/pulsed medium sized ripe tomatoes, fresh garlic (2 cloves), fresh ginger (1 tablespoon chopped), 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice.

Pour generous amount of the blended tomato mixture over the other salad ingredients. Top with goat feta and touch of stevia. It’s ridiculously delish & super satisfying!

Fresh Tomato, Ginger & Jalapeno Sauce

Fresh Tomato, Ginger & Jalapeno Sauce

FRESH TOMATO, GINGER & JALAPENO SAUCE

 

Another recipe for all of our Extremely Green Detoxers!

 

Ingredients

 

1 pint cherry tomatoes or 4 plum tomatoes, roughly chopped

2 cloves garlic

1 knob ginger (1 inch)

¼ jalapeno, seeded

1 lime, zest & juice

Celtic sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

 

Method

 

Blend all ingredients.

 

This seemingly delicate sauce packs a punch. It’s best with light, mild salad greens like romaine hearts, Bibb lettuce, green leaf, butter lettuce, etc.… with radish, cucumbers, daikon or jicama. Add mint and/or cilantro and the salad becomes Southeast Asian in flavor.

 

This sauce is perfect for daikon rolls; mandolin thin sheets of daikon, julienne cucumber, carrots, yellow or orange bell pepper, add a sprig of cilantro and mint. Roll and serve with sauce on the side.

 

Enjoy!
