So pretty, and just wonderful for simple summertime fare.

Summer Recipes with Zesty Flavors!

Here are the ingredients:

• 6 Ripe, small tomatoes
• Lettuce leaves
• 1 Batch of Guacamole

1.  Cut the stems out of the tomatoes, leaving the skin intact at the very bottom.  Slice each tomato  into 8 wedges, taking care not to cut through the tomato skin at the very bottom of the stem.

2.  Place a lettuce leaf, or some other kind of greenery on each salad plate, and put a tomato on top, spreading the wedges out to look like a flower

3.  Spoon 2 – 3 Tablespoons (Heaping) of Guacamole into the middle of the Tomato flower, and serve (chilled if you prefer).

Yield:  6 Servings

Depending on the size of your tomatoes, each will have about 17 Grams of carbohydrates and 5 Grams of fiber

What if you don’t have a family of 6  - then halve the recipe, and plan to use the rest of the guacamole for something else – omelettes, perhaps, or Mexican appetizers.   Guacamole has over 1,000 mg. of Potassium per serving.

Here’s a neat recipe for eggplant.  Indicates exactly how to properly prepare steamed eggplant.   Most people don’t know how to do it, and it is so good for you.  This recipe features hempseed (by Nutiva) and extra virgin coconut oil.

If you’re a vegetarian, you’ll surely like this:

Recipe from Nutiva.com :

Coconut Eggplant

* 1 – 2 eggplants
* 3 Tbsp Nutiva Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
* 2 Tbsp Nutiva Shelled Hempseed

Directions:
Chop up fresh eggplant into cubes a bit wider than a french fry– and 2-3 inches long. Place in steamer for 10 minutes until the eggplant is slighly soft, but not over done.  Just before the steaming is done, heat up a sauce pan to medium heat with several Tbsp of Coconut Oil.

Place the steamed eggplant into the hot pan for 3-4 minutes, and add more coconut oil as the eggplant soaks up the oil.
Drop in tamari or soy sauce for an extra flavor edge.
Turn the pieces over with a spatula so the eggplant cooks evenly.

Serve in a bowl–top with a dash of sea salt and shelled hempseeds.

1. Cinco de Mayo – Just Around the Corner!

This steak can be a grilled tuna steak or a broiled tuna steak

For the Tuna:

1 pound of fresh tuna, about 1/2 inch thick

1 T. fresh lemon juice

Splash of olive oil

1 T. minced fresh savory or 1 tsp. dried

1 tsp sesame seeds

2 roasted red bell peppers (*See Note below)
(thinly sliced)

For the Salsa:

1/2 C. pitted green olives

5 Scallions, chopped

1 clove of garlic, peeled

1 T. balsamic vinegar

2 tsp. olive oil

2 T. tomato-based salsa

To make the salsa, combine the olives, scallions, vinegar, garlic, olive oil, and tomato salsa in a food processor or blender. Whiz until coarsely pureed; the salsa should be slightly chunky. Set aside.

Preheat the broiler or prepare the grill. Rub the tuna with the lemon juice and olive oil, then sprinkle on the savory and sesame seeds, pressing them into the flesh. Broil or grill the fish until cooked just through, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Serve warm, drizzled with the salsa and sprinkled with the sliced peppers.
