fresh berries are oh-so-fabulous. this has been a summer of berries for me. i pretty much constantly have a big tub of raspberries, blueberries, strawberries and cherries in my fridge. my morning smoothies have been even better than usual (if that's even possible).
i don't know about you, but i seem to be less hungry when it's blistering hot out. i still want to eat, but i just want to eat fruit and raw veggies, quinoa, etc. light foods that aren't overly filling, but keep my energy up.
so, we often end up eating a big salad for dinner. above is a "chicken" (PC fake chicken) salad. when making a salad a meal, it's nice to throw something extra on it. nuts, beans, sunflower seeds, etc.
and vinaigrette is the prefect dressing for such a meal. it's quick and easy to prepare, healthy, and adds a wonderful burst of flavour to what can otherwise be a bland meal!
this recipe makes enough for 2 large salads.
ingredients:
1/2 c fresh (or frozen, thawed, with juice) raspberries
1 T balsamic vinegar
2 t sugar
3 T water
to make:
rinse your berries, and stick 'em in a bowl. mash those suckers up with a fork.
mix it all up, and serve on your favourite salad!
