Sesame Three Cabbage Tomato Salad

I developed Sesame Three Cabbage Tomato Salad when I had some green cabbage I wanted to use before it went bad. Green cabbage isn't my favorite, but it came in that week's CSA box. I decided to pair it with some cabbages I like better. I eventually decided to substitute savoy cabbage for the green cabbage because I like savoy cabbage better. 
Sesame Three Cabbage Tomato Salad holds up well, so it's good to take to a potluck. It also makes a wonderful accompaniment to my Miso Shiitake Soup as well as many other entrees. You could even eat is as an entree when a light but filling meal, lunch or dinner, is desired
Sesame Three Cabbage Tomato Salad

4 leaves red cabbage*
4 leaves savoy cabbage
4 leaves napa cabbage
1 large tomato
1 orange
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon dill weed

Chop cabbage and place in large serving bowl. Cut tomato into ½ inch cubes. Place in bowl with cabbage.

Dry roast sesame seeds in stainless steel skillet or cast iron skillet.

Peel orange and remove seeds. Place orange pieces in small mixing bowl or a blender. Add balsamic vinegar, all but 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds, nutritional yeast, and dill weed. Blend together using a hand blender or blender.

Pour dressing over cabbage and tomatoes. Toss gently to mix. Sprinkle the reserved 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds over top of salad.

    It's very interesting for me to read this recipe, as I am personally a big fan of cabbages. And I've never seen these combination of ingredients before. I would like to try it myself.

Orange Cranberry Water

Image
I used to love drinking orange juice with a splash or cranberry juice in it, but I no longer drink fruit juices as a general rule because of the high sugar content and lack of fiber. Sometimes, like this morning, I get a craving for that flavor combination. This water isn't as sweet or as strong, but it satisfies that craving. I like to drink infused water because it helps me keep my hydration up when I get bored with plain water. Since I was craving this this morning and decided to make it to quench my craving, I decided to share it! Orange Cranberry Water 2 oranges 1 cup frozen cranberries 40-60 ounces water Wash oranges. Slice into piece discarding the end pieces. Remove seeds. Gently massage orange slices over the top of a pitcher . Drop slices into the pitcher.  Add cranberries. Fill pitcher with water. Place in the refrigerator and all to infuse for several hours, or overnight. Note: I use organic ingredients whenever possible.

Mango Smoothie

Image
I make many different varieties of smoothies. I like to play with the ingredients.  This  Mango Smoothie  is a rare smoothie where I don't include any berries.  I almost always include some type of greens. In this recipe, I use kale. It gives the smoothie a light greenish tint, which I find rather pretty but some might not.    I decided to make mango the star of this smoothie, which I enjoyed more than I expected.  I find this Mango Smoothie light and refreshing but quite filling. It makes enough for one large smoothie or two small smoothies.  Mango Smoothie 2 cups frozen mango ½ cup walnuts 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon amla powder (optional) ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom 1 teaspoon matcha powder (optional) 2 teaspoons fruit infused vinegar ½ cup chopped kale 1 small orange 1 small avocado 1 banana Place walnuts, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, amla, matcha, and vinegar in blender . Blend until becomes a thick chunky bu...

Spelt Biscuits

Image
I remember biscuits at both of my grandmother's houses. They had very different styles for making biscuits, but both had their appeal. What I remember most about them thinking back is how cozy it felt when my grandmas served biscuits, even making biscuits with them felt cozy. I don't think my biscuits have ever been as good as either of theirs, but sometimes I wonder if that's as much about nostalgia as technique. I will readily admit that I find rolling dough kind of soothing and far too often roll my dough a bit too thin for biscuits, as I did when I made these biscuits this morning. So while this variation of biscuits has little in common with the biscuits either of my grandmas made, they both inspired me to develop a biscuit recipe. So, Grammy Stamm and Granny Cooper, this one is in your honor! Spelt Biscuits   2 cups spelt flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 teaspoon ground flaxseeds ½ cup hazelnut pulp ¾ cup hazelnut milk 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar     Preheat ...
