Berry season rocks! The other night I threw some ripe strawberries in a bowl to have with dinner. I’d say 99% of the time, fruit is consumed as-is in our home, but decided to change it up quick for something different. Sweet tooth, satisfied!
I simply drizzled a little raw honey, probably 1 TBSP Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips, and topped with a sprinkle, maybe 1/2 TBSP of Madhava Organic Coconut Sugar.
This was completely accidental, but yummy nonetheless! I had about 3/4 bag of shredded cabbage I needed to use, so I decided to toss it with some diced apple, oil and seasoning, only I added too much garlic (yes, there is such a thing). So I toned it down with a drizzle of raw honey, and voilà! Honey apple slaw 🙂 Another easy, light and simple summer salad (errr, slaw)! You could easily make this for any kind of party or get together
Honey Apple Slaw
Mix altogether and serve. It was like a sweet, salty addition to my meal! I had it with some roasted red pepper and spinach chicken sausage and avocado.
This is what I coined a new salad creation about a week and a half ago on my Facebook page (hey! did you know I have a Facebook page? Give it a like for tips, food, articles, inspiration, garden stuff, etc.: livinglikelinds).
It has started warming up, which brings for me, an urge to garden and make lots of salads-some staple salads, and some new salads. I think you’ll enjoy this cinnamon balsamic pear salad as much as I did!
Best. Fecking. Salad. Eva.
I threw all the dry ingredients (except for the bacon) into a large bowl, and drizzled with honey and balsamic vinegar, and tossed. This incorporated the cinnamon well (sidenote: Why have I not added cinnamon to salads before?). I topped with bacon bits. The light sweetness of the honey, toned down the balsamic, and the strong red onion paired well with the sweet Bosc pears. It’d be a great party or summer grilling salad!
My freezer is already full of brown bananas, combine that with my refusal to waste food and I needed something to do with my two sad, very ripe bananas last night.
I decided to slice them and throw them in a bowl with some fresh strawberries. Then I saw our raw alfalfa honey we bought from the North Park Farmers Market a couple weeks ago staring at me, so I decided to drizzle a little over the fresh fruit. OH EM GEE.
This might be my new favorite healthy treat because of how flavorful it is, not to mention SUPER easy (my preference) and a way to use up really ripe bananas. Quadruple win (health, flavor, ease, not wasting food)!
