Best Blended Salad, Cashew Cheese, Raw Chips & Strawberry Julius

I love Mango season!   I get to make my favorite blended salad.

The peppers and snap peas are to place on the table for snacking!...along with the cucumber.  What's on your table?

Remember to have plenty of fresh fruits and veggies at hands reach for your family...and they will eat them.

Best Blended Salad

1 Ataulfo mango

(my favorite, but you could also use another variety)

3 small vine ripe tomatoes

mixed salad greens

2 swiss chard leaves

small handful of cilantro

1 1/2 c. celery

3/4 of a large cucumber

jalapeno peppers to taste

lemon juice

Blend to desired consistency

This made a full Vita-Mix container or about 2 quarts

and I topped mine with granulated dulse flakes

Blended soups and salads are easy to digest, filling and delicious.  You can make them any consistency you like...smooth for a soup or chunky so you have something to chew.  Leave out the fruit for a savory soup or salad...use whatever greens or salad fixin's you have on hand, change up your spices/seasonings, add avocado for a creamy soup or salad.or chop it into the bowl..be creative....if I think it might be too bitter I add jalapeno and it usually cuts right through it.

For the dressings I usually add the ingredients right into the blender...for instance...tahini, lemon juice and Bragg's Liquid Aminos is good....or for Italian...garlic, oregano, basil, dash of Olive oil or leave out the oil and use an avocado for the fat.  Sometimes I'll look at salad dressing labels of things I used to eat and create one of my own from their ingredients list that I modify.

This is just off of my front deck.  It is the only place that we have enough sun to grow anything..but we do not get much sun, so I cannot grow much, but I keep trying.  This year I am doing some greens...kale, chinese cabbage, romaine, arugula in the raised bed and some herbs in pots... I am snipping off cilantro for my salad.

My lunch!!! Boy was it yummy!!.mmmmmmmm
