Today's recipes started easily enough. I took my soaked and cooked wheat berries and added half (about 3/4 c) to yesterday's avocado black bean and corn salad. Delicious and nutritious.
Next I took my soaking garbanzo beans, about 1 cup, and cooked them till tender. Added the drained and rinsed beans to the wheat berries to co-mingle while I percolated my next move, until my hunger finally took over. I went out to the garden and picked some greens- radicchio, beet greens, butter lettuce and Swiss chard. Mixed together with the berries and beans, I was now ready for a dressing.
Not happy with using oil- no matter how healthy it is- or mayo, buttermilk, yogurt - I'm after exotic flavors while being nutritious and delicious, I opted instead for this concoction: 3 peeled clementines in the Blentec, a splash (about 1/8 c) of fresh, homemade soymilk - oh yeah, something else I whipped up this morning- about 1 T apple cider vinegar, and 1/3 c walnuts. That's it. This was thick, like a dip. If I wanted it more like a dressing, I'd increase the soymilk to 1/3 c or may a half. I combined some of this to the wheat berries, beans and greens until it was coated. Poured onto a plate, topped with a few raisins, and I was good to go.
Until next time...
