Summer IS on it's way...

Summer is on it's way...I can see it happening. The little white petals from the popcorn trees are blowing in through our door onto the carpet, and the birds are so busy making their nests. The wind is blowing, but it is a warmer wind...

Summer inspires me...I had to whip up this delicious salad today.

Cabbage Almond Salad


This is an all-around favorite. Really refreshing, healthy, tasty and filling...

Salad:


1 Head green cabbage

3-4 Green onions (use the whole onion...white and green part)

1/2 package buckwheat soba noodles (found in the health food section)
or you may be able to use roman noodles

Toasted sesame and almonds



Dressing:



1/2 cup grape seed oil

Juice of 1 lime

Stevia (about 1/2 tsp) this is a natural sweetener that won't raise blood sugar

1/4 tsp Real Salt (or to taste)

Whisk together


Chop cabbage and green onions. Place in a large bowl. Cook noodles and rinse with cold water to cool. Toast almonds and sesame in grape seed oil on medium heat until golden. Let cool...add to cabbage and green onion mix. Then dress and toss.
