Good evening to you
And I'm on time this week. So many people ask me for a great salad dressing.
Because a lot of times when you make a salad, it could be kind of bland in need
of a perk or a little zest so to speak. Well after a 50-mile bike ride today
and looking in the fridge for something easy to prepare, I put this together
and used it on some tomatoes and chopped basil with some chopped celery. This
helped me regain some fluids I lost today as I sweated like the dickens in the
hot sun. And from our Tele-seminar this recent Thursday we spoke about the sun
and the tremendous benefit it is to our health and vitality. But I was in it
a bit much and after 3 hours, I was ready for something to hydrate me. So it
was this dressing that helped make a most satisfying, quick pre-meal to what
I prepared for this evening meal which is another week's recipe.
And this week I had a banana box full of Southern Florida Avocados which are
about as good as you're going to get. I got them for all the people who buy
Mangoes from me, as this was a dismal year for mangoes to say the least. I used
to think the Haas were the best Avocados until I really sunk my teeth into the
Southern Florida Avocados. So with a few left in my fridge, I went to town with
one that weighed over 2 pounds.
INGREDIENTS:
One Yellow Summer Squash
One quarter cup of finely chopped Scallions
One Avocado
One quarter teaspoon of Basil
One Tomato
In a large mixing bowl, mash the Avocado to a much and cut the Tomato up into
as small of pieces as you can and mix the Scallions and grated Summer Squash
and Basil all into a very soupy texture. You can use this as a dip or as a Salad
Dressing. I promise you that even if you don't like Avocados, you'll favor this
recipe. It's sure to be a winner in your house.
Now you are probably wondering about the Fat content. It's a kind of Fat our
body's craving for. And it's so useable. As I also mentioned on the Tele-seminar
Thursday that I use some Avocado when I'm on the sun as a skin moisturizer.
Sounds bizarre I know, but if you look at most quality suntan lotions, they
have some sort of vegetable oil(s) in them. I use Almond Oil, fresh Avocado
and even the inside of the Mango Rind when I'm in the sun. It's tremendous for
your skin. I would strongly encourage each of you to enjoy some sun, as it's
one thing we can't live without. Here's a tip to insure you of "SAFE"
sun. As Dr. Douglas Graham mentioned on the Tele-seminar, that if you can see
you shadow, that's a good sign. So my take on that would be the longer your
shadow, the safer it would be for you to enjoy this most essential component
to good health.
All for now. Remember, you may have a blemished past, but your future is "SPOTLESS"!
Expect great things to happen.
