For the salad I used:
1 Granny Smith apple
1 cup thawed wild blueberries
1 rib celery
a good handful of fresh basil
For the dressing I used:
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon flax oil (which provides the daily req for Omega-3s)
freshly grated ginger
lemon zest
The salad was crunchy and satisfying. The lemon and ginger made it zingy.
Rose,
ReplyDeleteThat salad is really pretty. I love the magenta color. What a great touch to add fresh basil. Not just yummy but fragrant and healthy.
Sounds like something I will enjoy too. I may put my own twist on this as soon I get some fresh basil.
talk to you soon,
Alicia
Thanks Alicia,
ReplyDeleteI used the wild blueberries on your recommendation after reading that they contain more anti-oxidants than farmed ones.
The salad was fragrant with the basil and ginger; I'd make it again.
Yes, I agree - I'm a basil nut! I could see myself making this, too. Thanks for the recipe.
