A RECIPE FOR A SALAD

To make this condiment, your poet begs

The pounded yellow of two hard-boiled eggs;

Two boiled potatoes, passed through kitchen sieve,

Smoothness and softness to the salad give.

Let onion atoms lurk within the bowl,

And, half suspected, animate the whole.

Of mordant mustard add a single spoon,

Distrust the condiment that bites so soon;

But deem it not, thou man of herbs, a fault,

To add a double quantity of salt.

Four times the spoon with oil from Lucca brown,

And twice with vinegar procured from town;

And, lastly, o’er the flavored compound toss

A magic soupcion of anchovy sauce.

O, green and glorious! O herbaceous treat!

‘T would tempt the dying anchorite to eat:

Back to the world he’d turn his fleeting soul,

And plunge his fingers in the salad bowl!

Serenely full, the epicure would say,

“Fate cannot harm me, I have dined to-day.”

Salads are an excellent way to pump up your daily food with some essential and healthy nutrients; Salads can be prepared from everyday vegetables and are the easiest of all recipes. Experts have recommended including atleast one variety of salad daily. Since most salads have vegetables and other ingredients in thier raw form, all the essential nutrients are preserved.

Did you know that antioxidants can lower inflammation, fight disease and aging, but they can also help you to lose weight? According to a Taiwanese study, antioxidants called flavonoids and phenolic acids may cut fatty build-up in fat cells.  Just make sure you drink all these juices in their purest forms with no sugar or artificial additives.

Juice Recipes for Weight Loss

Mix 2 ozs of different types of juice together and pour over ice for a nice refreshing antioxidant virgin cocktail. Take one shot of Acai Berry juice in the morning with another juice following it as a chaser for increased energy as well as its fat loss properties.    Here is a list of my top 6 juices for to help you lose excessive weight. 

Juice for Weight Loss #1 – Pomegranate Juice. Besides being ultra delicious, pomegranate juice contains almost every type of antioxidant. Pomegranate juice is also linked to protecting against some cancers and may also modify heart disease risk factors.

Juice for Weight Loss #2 – Concord Grape Juice is very potent source of antioxidants. It is also linked to a healthy heart and also helps reduce blood pressure. 

Juice for Weight Loss #3 – Blueberry Juice. The rich deep and almost black color of blueberry juice alone indicates its high antioxidant content. Blueberry juice also contains tons of fiber, and is also very high in Vitamin C. In a recent study conducted by Canadian researchers, it was discovered that blueberry juice may help reduce body weight and food intake.

Juice for Weight Loss #4 – Black Cherry Juice is not only high in antioxidants, but there is evidence that black cherry juice can actually diminish exercise-induced muscle injuries.

Juice for Weight Loss #5 – Cranberry Juice is high in antioxidants and Vitamin C. Several studies have found that consuming cranberry juice can increase HDL (good cholesterol) levels by up to 10%. Contains high levels cranberry juice can have an emulsifying effect upon fat deposits, thereby helping you reduce excess fat.  

Juice for Weight Loss #6 – Acai Berry Juice is jam packed with antioxidant goodness and is a must for weight loss.  Dr. Perricone from the Oprah Winfrey show rated Acai Berry as the number #1 superfood in the world.

Acai Bery juice can be quite pricey though. And unfortunately as Acai is highly perishable and it cannot be shipped from South America, the easiest and cheapest way to take Acai is in a capsule form.  You can click here for a free bottle of Acai to sample.

Over the holidays, Victor and I had a wonderful opportunity to experience first hand the majestic beauty of Yosemite National Park. From the snow covered roads (yes, there was someone to help us with our chains!) to the glory of Half Dome’s snow cap, nature’s display of scenery was breathtaking. Inspired by this beauty, here are a couple of fruit salad recipes for a natural winter fruit salad.

Even in winter, fruits can be fun and delicious. Here are two options for easy-to-make winter fruit salad. One recipe is from Martha Stewart and the other recipe is from EatingWell.com. Both fruit salad recipes call for ingredients that are easy to find and both salads take little time to make.

Winter Fruit Salad

1 Pink Papaya
1 Yellow Papaya
1 Pint of Fresh Strawberries
1 Lime Halved Fresh Mint for Garnish

Remove the skin and seeds of the papayas and cut them in quarters or vary the look of the salad by cutting one papaya in 1-inch chunks and the other in 1-inch strips.

]]>

Wash the strawberries, remove the stems and cut in half.

Toss the fruit in your favorite serving bowl, squeeze the lime on top and garnish with mint.

Here is a second option for a winter fruit salad.

4 Seedless Oranges peeled
3 Pink Grapefruits peeled
1 Pineapple cored, skin removed and cut into quarter inch cubes
2 Star fruits cut to accent the shape of the fruit Pomegranate Seeds

Remove the white pith from the oranges and grapefruits; quarter the fruit lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Toss with the pineapple, star fruit and pomegranate seeds in a bowl and serve.

As a side for your fruit salad recipes, serve them with plain or vanilla yogurt (Greek yogurt is a great option as well) or add some additional eatable natural beauty to your buffet by making “fruit cups” with a piece of bib lettuce or sometimes called Boston lettuce.

You can always hallow out a watermelon and create a basket to place the fruit in or take the fruit and create different shapes and sizes using a melon baller. And don’t forget about a Madeline, it also works great for creating textured sliced fruit!

Another fun way to display your winter fruit salad is in a bowl made of ice. You can also decorate your ice bowl by freezing flowers, or herbs such as rosemary, mint and basil or sliced citrus such as lemons and oranges in the ice as well.

I hope you enjoy the rest of the winter and try one of these fruit salad recipes for a winter fruit salad. Until next time, remember the Budget Bash mantra: make it simple, stylish, fun and economical to all!
