Purslane Salad with Yoghurt and Capers (Glistrida Salata me Yiaourti kai Kappari) 

27/10/2014

0 Comments

 
  • 2 1/2 cups of strained goat's Sheep's yogurt
  • 1 cup of purslane, chopped
  • 1 cup of romaine lettuce, chopped in chunks
  • 1 teaspoon of mashed or minced garlic (approximately 1 clove)
  • 1/4 cup of olive oil
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons of capers
  • sea salt
  • freshly ground pepper



  • Prep Time: 0 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 15 minutes



Preparation Combine all ingredients in a salad bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 - 40 minutes before serving.

Note: Unlike other salads with Romaine lettuce where the lettuce is finely sliced so that dressings don't settle on the lettuce, this salad calls for nice coarsely cut pieces of lettuce to stand up to the yogurt.

This salad is hearty and delicious!!! Super-nutritious too!  Purslane is five times richer in omega-3 fatty acids than spinach, and is high in vitamin C.

1 bunch Purslane
2 Cucumbers
2 Tomatoes
2 green onions or 2 heaping Tbsp red onion, minced
4 oz feta cheese
1 clove garlic, minced
1/3 cup olives, chopped
2 tsp oregano (fresh if possible!)


Dressing:
1½ Tbsp lemon juice
1½ Tbsp red wine vinegar
½ cup olive oil
¾ tsp salt
2 Tbsp fresh herbs or 1 Tbsp dried (your choice, try dill, parsley, or oregano)
¼ tsp coarse ground black pepper

Blend dressing ingredients together in a blender until smooth.  Coat the salad just before serving.

Creamy Broccoli Soup / Vegan 

27/10/2014

0 Comments

 
Ingredients
  • 1 large Head of Broccoli
  • ½ Cauliflower
  • 2 cups Vegetable broth (from cooked veggies)
  • 1 Avocado
  • ½ Tablespoon Onion Powder
  • Black Pepper to taste
  • Salt to taste
Salsa
  • 12 ripe grape tomatoes diced
  • ½ small onion chopped
  • ¼ cup cilantro
  • ½ small jalapeno diced
  • ½ lime
  • salt to taste

Directions
  • Steam broccoli and cauliflower until tender, place the veggies in the blender while they are still hot. Add two cups of the water to the blender from the steam pot you just used for your veggies. Add avocado, onion powder, salt and pepper. Blend. Be sure to keep the lid on tight because the soup is very hot and will burn you if it splashes out of the blender. Add liquid from cooked vegetables if you find that the soup is too thick. Blend well again. Serve in a bowl topped with a huge spoonful of fresh salsa. That’s it.
