Whoa! I never knew I’d love this Creamy Tahini and Dill Sauce so much. It is so very versatile. Last week I served it with roasted potatoes, and now it shines bright in this lettuce-free salad of jicama, corn and zucchini. This Jicama Salad with Creamy Tahini and Dill Sauce is also completely raw and oil-free. I also love it because it’s fast and fresh, and doesn’t require the use of a blender, unlike many other raw sauces.

Pineapple is probably my second favorite fruit, after mango. And when mango season ends, and I can’t make my Livity Mango Salad anymore, I turn to this zesty Pine and Ginger Salad to call in the last feelings of summer. I enjoy the taste of pineapple and ginger together very much, it’s a juice I make often. This salad, with the addition of creamy avocado, should be put high on your list of things to make now.

Kale and Spelt Salad with Peach and Pine Nuts

Kale and Spelt Salad with Peach and Pine Nuts | livitygardens.com

This Kale and Spelt Salad with Peach and Pine Nuts really started as a kitchen sink salad, but ended up being something I made three times in a week. So yes, it’s this good. I had kale from the farmers market that I wanted to use as well as some cherry tomatoes. I knew I wanted a grain in there, I love kale salads with grains, so I opted for spelt this time, but feel free to use freekeh, farro, or barley. Any chewy grain will do.

This Tomato and Mushroom Salad with Parsley Vinaigrette is a recipe from my childhood. It is zesty, fresh, clean, and easy as can be! My mom used to make it when we would have company, as part of a multitude of other side dishes. I’ve been thinking about this dish a lot lately and wanted to recreate it. Unfortunately, my mom would not follow a recipe, so here I was improvising. After a few versions, I finally nailed it.

Cooling Cucumber, Snap Peas and Avocado Salad with Zesty Peanut Sauce
Cooling Cucumber, Snap Peas and Avocado Salad with Zesty Peanut Sauce

When summer is approaching and the snap peas are nice and plump, I like to prepare a cooling cucumber, snap peas, and avocado salad with zesty raw peanut sauce. It provide a nice balance between the coolness of the cucumber and the creaminess of the avocado and the peanut butter of the sauce. When snap peas are in season, I like to buy lots of them and eat them in different ways. They’re also a very good snack. Serve this cooling cucumber salad with a nice cup of the Raw Cream of Vegetable Soup for the perfect mid-day meal. Needless to say that this lettuce-free salad is the perfect addition to your summer picnics and get-togethers.

  • 1/4 tasse d’huile de sésame grillé
  • 1/4 tasse d’huile d’olive
  • 1/4 tasse de beurre d’arachides naturel
  • 1/4 tasse de jus de lime frais
  • 1 c. à soupe de gingembre frais, haché
  • 1 date, sans le noyau
  • 1/2 c. à thé de pâte chili-ail (de type sambal oelek)
  • 1/4 c. à thé de sel de mer
  • Garnitures: coriandre fraîche et basilic Thaï (optionnel)

Instructions

Déposer le concombre, les pois mange-tout, l’avocat, et la chair de coconut dans un bol à mélanger.

Placer le reste des ingrédients dans un mélangeur haute vitesse jusqu’à l’obtention d’un mélange onctueux. Verser de la sauce sur la salade et bien mélanger. Garnir de coriandre et de basilic Thaï frais, si disponible.

Notes

Il vous restera de la sauce au beurre d’arachides. Conservez-la au réfrigérateur pour une prochaine salade, pour accompagner des rouleaux printaniers, ou tout simplement pour accompagner des légumes sautés.
