Armenian cucumber & tomato salad

/ outeraislefoods / 1 Comment

This recipe features our armenian cucumbers.  These jewels are more closely related to melons. Their flesh is super crispy and the seed cavity is almost non existent. A great find from Noshtopia.

  • 1 cup peeled and sliced armenian cucumber
  • 1 cup cut heirloom tomatoes
  • 2 chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • Fresh dill to taste
  • 1/2 cup of your favorite vinaigrette
  • A sprinkle of hemp seeds for topping (optional)

Put all ingredients in a large bowl. Pour in the vinaigrette and toss the dressing into the vegetables with your hands until all is covered with dressing.

Sweet & Savory Chard Wrap

/ outeraislefoods / 2 Comments

This recipe is all about your personal taste. Nothing in this recipe is exact; so lay on the flavor where you love it most.  I love foods that satisfy my love for sweet, nutty, creamy and pungent but I most of all love this wrap for its freshness and unique complexity. Packed with flavor, this raw wrap could turn a person vegan.

Ingredients

  • Handful of sundried tomatoes
  • Avocado, sliced
  • Dash of fresh dill
  • Golden raisins
  • Sprinkle of pine nuts
  • A handful of green onion
  • Drizzle of olive oil
  • A pinch of himalayan salt

Instruction

Prepare 1-2 wraps per person depending on the size of the wrap

  1. Start by rehydrating/softening the sundried tomatoes and slice to 1/2″ x 2″ pieces (leave in warm water for 1 minute)
  2. Remove the tough inner stems from the chard and criss-cross the “wings” created through that process to ensure full coverage when you roll up the wrap.
  3. Place 2-3 avocado slices and softened tomato into each leaf
  4. Drizzle oil over avocado and tomato
  5. Sprinkle on raisins, green onion, dill, and pine nuts.  Finish with a slight bit of himalayan salt.
  6. Roll as tightly as possible. Secure with toothpicks if needed and enjoy!
