| Simple Cucumber Salad Yields: 4 servings Ingredients: 1½ large English cucumbers 1-2 tsp Salt (for salting the cucumber) 4 large green onions 2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup fresh lemon juice (or use a good quality bottled Lemon Juice) ¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1 tsp lemon zest 1/8 tsp fresh cracked Pepper 1. Slice cucumber very finely (I like to use my Mandoline Slicer set to 1/8” thick). Sprinkle liberally with salt and let sit in a colander in your sink for 1 hour. 2. Rinse cucumber thoroughly (taste a piece to make sure you’ve rinsed all the salt off). Let the cucumber slices drain on paper towels or a clean tea towel to dry completely. 3. Slice green onions. Finely chop cilantro. Finely zest lemon. Combine onions, cilantro, lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil and cracked pepper and stir to combine. 4. Pour dressing over the cucumber, stir to incorporate and serve! You can refrigerate this salad for several hours up to overnight; simply give it a stir to redistribute the dressing before serving. Delicious Dressing Hi everyone in the Salad Bridgade! Here is a delicious dressing I found that also acts as an anti-inflammatory for us! Ingredients (mostly organic but can also use regular if from a safe source) 1/4 cup tahini 1/4 cup cold water 2 T extra virgin olive oil 2 T lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander 1/4 teaspoon paprika 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (to taste) 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (to taste) Instructions Combine all ingredients in a mason jar, cover and shake until well combined. Or combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until well combined. Turkey or Chicken Vegetable Soup As always, try to use organic ingredients. Ingredients - 2 large or 3 medium boneless skinless turkey or chicken breasts (seasoned generously with oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and a gentle sprinkle of chili powder - does not make spicy at all unless you go crazy) - Olive oil - Coconut/olive oil spray - Pre-minced garlic - One large onion chopped - 5 celery stalks chopped - 15 baby carrots chopped (optional) - Medium to large handful of frozen kale - One carton of chicken stock (32 fl oz) Directions 1. Bake chicken at 350 degrees for roughly 30 minutes in a baking dish lined with coconut or olive oil cooking spray. I used turkey breast that took 70 minutes to bake at 350 degrees--just follow directions on packaging. 2. Allow to mostly cool and cut into small cubes. 3. Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic. I use a regular spoon and just put a large glop in there. Stir around and allow to cook for a minute or two. Add the onion, celery, and carrots. Stir and cook another minute or two. Add the kale, stir and cook for another minute or two. Add the entire carton of chicken stock (or veggie--whatever you have). Stir in the baked/cubed turkey or chicken. Fill the pot with water except for a few inches. Bring to a boil. Simmer for 30 minutes. 4. Enjoy this hearty, filling, nutritious soup for days. Double the recipe for one of those huge chili pots. For moms, this is great to have in the house and make once a week. My three children love it. For my 20-month old, I fed him the soup and then put the broth in his sippy cup. Us moms need to get on board the soup train because it lessens the cooking load. I can tell you this recipe makes us feel normal. Feel free to season to your own tastes! Vegan Vegetable Broth Ingredients 2 large yellow onions or sweet onions, diced 2 medium carrots, diced or sliced 2 stalks celery, diced or sliced 2 tablespoons olive oil 3 cloves garlic, cut into very small pieces 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped 2 cups clean vegetable scraps - optional 1/3 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned) or 1 tablespoon tomato paste 11 - 13 cups cold water 1 bay leaf 1 teaspoon dulse or nori 1 sprig fresh thyme 1/2 teaspoon salt – or to taste Directions In a soup pot, sauté onion, carrots, and celery in oil over low to medium heat until onions begin to look translucent. If vegetables are beginning to stick to pan, add more oil or a tablespoon or so of water. Continue cooking until onions begin to brown. Stir often. Once onions are lightly browned, add garlic and sauté for 1 additional minute. Add remaining ingredients, except dulse or nori, thyme, and salt, and slowly bring to just under the boiling point over medium heat. (Adjust heat depending on your stove. The key is to slowly heat the mixture to ensure optimal flavor extraction from vegetables.) Reduce heat and simmer for approximately one hour. Add dulse or nori and thyme in the last 20 minutes of simmering. Add salt to taste. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Strain through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth. Keeps in refrigerator for 3 to 4 days or in freezer for several months. Notes Add a chopped parsnip or a leek if desired.

Hi everyone, I know some people have been avoiding salad dressing on the protocol and missing it. I wanted to share some protocol-friendly recipes for dressings that my family enjoy: Yummy Avocado Dressing: 1 Avocado 2 tablespoons olive oil Juice from � ½ lemon or lime 1 large clove garlic, fineley diced or pressed 1 or 2 tablespoons water Sea salt and black pepper to taste Mash or blend the avocados, oil, lemon juice and water together until smooth. Mix in the pressed garlic pulp and salt and pepper to taste. Add additional water for the right consistency if necessary. Refrigerate for about an hour to let the flavor permeate into the dressing. Make and enjoy this dressing fresh since avocados do oxidate when kept for long periods in the fridge. This is a very versatile recipe and you can add many options for different flavors. Finely chopped or blended sun-dried tomatoes are a great addition. A bit of dried mustard or chili can add some zing. Or you could try adding finely chopped red onion, parsley or fresh cilantro. Sesame Dressing: Juice from 1 lemon 1 to 2 tablespoons water 1/4 cup Sesame oil 1/4 teaspoon powdered Stevia (or to your taste since Stevia strength varies by brand) Sea salt and black pepper to taste 1 clove pressed garlic Finely chopped fresh basil (optional) Toasted sesame seeds. Whisk lemon juice, water and oil together to vinegrette consistency. Add Stevia, garlic and salt and pepper to taste. Mix in herbs and whisk. Serve over greens with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds on top if you like. Keeps nicely for several days in the fridge. Enjoy having dressing on your salads again! Deborah B.
