Fresh Veggies Recipes

One of the best things about summer is the fresh vegetables that you can get at a farmers market or your own garden (or if you're lucky like I am, a neighbor's garden). Grilling really brings out the flavor of the corn and zucchini, and it's so easy to do.
The other great thing about summer is the herbs. You can use any combination you like. I used basil, cilantro, oregano and lavender, but use what's available and what you like.
This is a really easy salad to make, the prep work just takes some time but it's really worth it.

Chicken salad with cucumber, carrot, red pepper

The only "canned" item I use is the tomato paste, and that is for thickening. My goal when I cook is to create traditional meals that are lower in sodium, and carbs and higher in protein than the original recipes.

Great on baked potatoes, pasta or by itself!

This fresh raw veggies salad & turkey ham mix is good as a side dish, can be added to rice, or served in a tortilla... just be creative with what you got!

Do not go by the nutritional values listed for this recipe. I use no salt added products and do not add any when cooking. The sodium and potassium values are way off as are the other values.

I used chicken broth... if making vegetarian make sure to switch out the chicken broth for veggie broth!
