Raw, Vegan, Gluten and Dairy Free Soup

This is by far the easiest recipe in the world. Really cut up a few things, throw them in the blender and walah dinner!

1 large avocado (pitted and peeled)
1 large red pepper (de seeded and chunked)
2 cups rice or soy milk
1 cup water
1/4 cup of fresh cilantro (chopped)

Put them all in a blender and turn it on.
Put it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before serving.
Delish!

You can't beat this for Vitamin C content and ease of making the hardest thing is to let it get cold so you can really taste the flavors. I hope you enjoy it!

Gingered Cucumber

So you are harvesting your cucumbers...what do you do with all these lovely green veggies....here's a great salad recipe.

1 larger cucumber (peeled) or 2 smaller cucumbers
2 green onions (diced)
2 cloves garlic (chopped, tiny)
2 teaspoons ginger
1 Tablespoon Rice Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Soy sauce (SanJ Tamarini, blue label is wheat free)

1. Slice cucumber lengthwise and scoop out seeds
2. Slice cucumber horizontal in 1/4 inch slices
3. Mix cucumber with all other ingredients
4. Refrigerate one hour
5. Serve

I put this on lettuce and it was delish. You have to like ginger to enjoy this recipe. However, if you reduce the ginger to one teaspoon it wouldn't be as potent. It was definitely a great way to use a cucumber (2 small ones or 1 larger)

Enjoy!
