Raspberry Respite !!!

Recently over a BBQ weekend, I made a Raspberry melon mocktail. Crush about 10 raspberries with a fork and pour 2 tablespoon sugar on it. Let the crushed raspberries chill in fridge for a hour.

Once ready to serve, add the raspberries with their juice in a juice jug. Add melon soda for fizz. Stir and serve chilled!

3 G's of Summer Sizzling Salads

I make my salads very simple using Greens, Garnish and Gravy a.k.a dressing.

The first summer and figure friendly salad recipe is my Rad Apple Salad.

Greens - Prepare the bed with your choice of salad: Iceberg, Spinach or Arugula.
Garnish - Shave radish and apple on it as much as you desire. Sprinkle Feta.
Gravy - Whisk fresh lime juice in 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil. Add salt, pepper and orange juice.

Toss Greens and Garnish in advance and once ready for your meal, pour in the dressing.



Watermelon Feta Spinach Salad

Be your own chef - I modified the Garnish to watermelon and radish sprinkled with Feta. In the dressing, instead of OJ, I whisked in 1 whole strawberry sliced thin and half teaspoon sugar. Turned out just as delicious if not more...

Enjoy Experimenting!
