Same as my original recipe but MUCH less fat. Cabot cheese really holds it's flavor in the 75% less fat version
Serve cold, this is a sweeter but spicey dish than the red. gazpacho Definately adjust to taste. Scotch bonnet peppers are really hot! Use any type peppers for the zing, ginger gives it heat. Almonds double the calories and fats. They are optional. The recipe is a work in progress. Feel free to adjust to taste. Just watch out if you add coconut! The fats and calories will go way up.
This recipe is made with regular fat ingredients but cooks up very nicely using 75% lowfat sharp cheddar cheese and a tablespoon of olive oil instead of butter. There is a separate recipe for this.
You are supposed to cook this, strain the broth and toss the veggies. It would make 8 servings.
Using the veggies will be about 12 servings.
Cold gazpacho gives you many of your vitamins and vegetable servings with a zing! Adjust all of the ingredients to taste; I prefer mine very hot so go slow on the peppers I listed. I've used fresh tomatoes but scalding, peeling and removing seeds was not my thing. You can use any type canned tomatoes. Experiment with the vegetables! More cucumbers, less tomato, less peppers or more. It's really up to you to decide what's the balance. I've added carrots as well.
Serve with a dolop of fat-free Greek yogurt.
A different salad which also works with other fruits than Blood Oranges such as strawberries, raspberries or apples. The season for Blood Oranges is so short--why not give it a try. It is very refreshing.
This packable salad can be altered to your taste. When I make it up, I avoid putting in cucumbers because they become mushy in a day or so. Just add them when you serve it. No many calories there. If you are a vegan, just eliminate the feta cheese. Olives are nice added and add tremdous flavor. Just cut down on the olive oil in the recipe and chop the olives finely.
A very satisfying, fresh dish that is very fast and easy to make. If you want to cut down on the fat, just eliminate the parmesan cheese. The trick is not to overcook it. The bright green spinach and red tomatoes make it very colourful.
Easy to make and loaded with excellent nutrients, this satisfying dish is something you can pack for lunches or serve as a side dish with entres as a change. It is especially useful in the winter when good veggies are hard to come by. You can change up the ingredients to flavor the lentils by using garlic, tomatoes, artichokes, other herbs etc. It is also very nice with the addition of feta cheese, oregano and chopped sweet peppers. This salad is high in fibre and has a fairly good protein value.
Lentils and a sweet potato provide wholesome fiber in this hearty main-dish soup
