Homemade salsa, bursting with fresh flavors is the best and this salsa recipe has a wonderful combination of spices. One of the ingredients that really adds to it is the subtle flavor that a few celery leaves chopped up and added gives to it. They are undetectable but give it a bright fresh and slightly unique flavor. You can easily adjust the spiciness by adding more or less chili powder and jalapeno to it. If you like it spicy consider adding another type of chili to it also, from simply adding a little cayenne to it to adding other types of ground chilies. Combining different types of chilies adds depth to the salsa flavor. There are so many types of chilies you can try! If you like a smoky flavor, a little chipotle would make a great addition also. Salsa is a great place to get a little creative and experiment with using different chilies. || Read more
This ketchup recipe is awesome because it tastes great but also because it is so healthy. Commercial ketchup is so full of processed sugar; it is one of the first ingredients! This raw version is sweet also, but the sweetness comes from Medjool dates which combine so well with tomatoes that you can’t tell where the sweetness comes from, and they are filled with loads of minerals and nutrition also packed in. As with all raw foods, it is also rich in enzymes, which are so beneficial for our bodies. || Read more
Olive tapenade is a wonderful savory spread for on crackers. It;s great as an appetizer or as a snack. I like using black kalamata olives to make this but you can use many other types. For green olive tapenade just switch to green olives. Similarly the herbs used can be changed to change the taste. I like my olive tapenade a little garlicky but not spicy, for the most part. But again, you can change this by adding a little chili, cayenne, sambal or favorite hot sauce if you would like some spice and lowering garlic if you prefer less. This is my favorite way to make olive tapenade and so this recipe makes a good guide to go by. || Read more
Saffron is a spice that comes from the small purple saffron crocus. Each flower on the plant has 3 vivid crimson stigmas which are the part used as the spice. Saffron is used in various Indian, Persian and European cuisines, and sometimes Arab and Turkish cuisines as well, as a seasoning and coloring agent. || Read more
This vegan tuna wannabe salad is delicious. I just made it for lunch and it was a hit with everyone, vegans and non-vegetarians alike. In fact those that would eat fish said they preferred this anyway. That always feels great! When everyone prefers the healthy vegan option. The salad mixture is ground up almonds and carrots, and the orange makes it almost look more like salmon, but the taste is more like a tuna salad and since it is vegan and not really like either, it has just been coined Vegan Neptune Salad. This salad looks really great with the flecks of green and black from nori sheets chopped up, which also give it it’s light sea taste. Our healthy hemp oil mayonnaise is perfect in this. All together it makes a perfect lunch – it’s nutritious, filling and delicious! || Read more
