This Tuscan recipe is so easy and fast that I was thinking that it was too simple for a video. Everything is so fresh and the taste from the olive oil blended with the veggies just makes it perfect with the marinated bread. It brings home a little bit of Italian cuisine for your family and friends.
I made the Tuscany salad with a hearty rye bread that still holds its texture as it absorbs the liquid, thus giving it a great taste.
I hope that you enjoy this and give it a try, also please let me know if you made any changes to it.
Here I'm using a hearty thick country rye bread that has a texture that can absorb the liquids and still not give you a soggy bread but a smooth marinated taste.
Try it with day-old bread or really any type you want, just remember to toast it or put it under the oven grill until golden brown.
The cucumber is just perfect for this recipe, the mild fresh taste just goes perfect with the other veggies and the marinated oil. Go ahead and try it your way, let us know how you made yours.
Slice the tomatoes in wedges so it becomes nice bite-size pieces, but try it your way and see what pleases you best. After all, it's your salad. See what you can come up to with this recipe.
By not cutting up the parsley you will get a more of a fresh taste in every bite and it will make it more of all-round natural taste. I would advise using only fresh parsley or really any other kind of fresh herbs.
Finish it off with lime or lemon, whatever you use it will complete this recipe your way. In this way, you will keep repeating this dish for your light meals or a side dish.
This broccoli salad is so easy to make and do not let the raw recipe fool you, for the combined taste of the fresh veggies with a very smooth cream sauce blended with the sweet cranberries is out of this world.
This can be served with Dinner or Lunch, but be rest assured that it can go on the side of any dish. Try making a lot and use it for a party or get-together, they will love you for it.
When I made this dish, the only problem I had was that it disappeared real fast and "puff" it was gone, so please make some extra. This will also hold in the fridge for a day or so and it will still be fresh and awesome.
Please let us know how yours turned out and if you added anything else to it.

What could be better than fresh veggies mixed with a smooth velvet sauce that just blends in perfectly with a touch of sweetness of dried cranberry.
Neat trick, just use your peeler to cut smooth perfect slices of the carrot. In this way, it will actually taste better, it will always be tender and sweet.
The size of the broccoli flower should be "bite-size", but that will depend on you on how big or small you want it.
Remember to save the stock and bits to make homemade veggie stock. I usually store all the leftover veggies parts in a plastic bag in the freezer.
Here I am using dried cranberries, but you can really use whatever your heart desires. Sometimes times if I am in the mood, I add some raisins or walnuts or both.

Do not think that this salad was taken from the internet, yes there is some like this but
and yes a big "but", there is a difference with it. I have actually experimented with this salad

over again tell it was perfect. I used my Girlfriend, myself, and friends to try it as a meal and report
back to me. The result was awesome on taste and they all said that they found
themselves full of energy and all got a
great feeling of calm in their body after eating it.
So here it is all ready for you and tested through
and through. Please let me know how it worked for you.
Now what do the experts say "why" this
works.
World’s Healthiest Foods Sector reports that
cruciferous vegetables (such as broccoli, kale, cauliflower, cabbage,
watercress, and mustard greens) are said to be detoxifying because they provide
support for the immune system, inflammatory system, hormonal system,
detoxification system, and antioxidant system
These vegetables contain a wide variety of
vitamins and minerals as well as phytonutrients. For example, one such group of
phytonutrients found in cruciferous vegetables are called glucosinolates. Glucosinolates
are thought to have anti-cancer properties in a variety of research studies.
World’s healthiest Foods also suggest consuming 3 servings of cruciferous
vegetables each week for maximum benefit.
Caution
Remember that if you feel and/or see anything out of the norm with your body, you should always seek out some medical doctor's advice.
Add all the carrots first to the food processor for because of being harder it will not over chop the broccoli if there were together.
When the carrots are not cooked and are raw will be low on the GI scale so have as much as you want without the worry.
I would add the broccoli here in two parts because adding to much will over chop it on the bottom of the processor and have big chunks of it on top and it could turn out not even.
I used only the pulse setting in order to have more control of the chopping process.
Add as much as you want of the lemon for this juice pulls all the flavor together and helps digest the broccoli in your system .
If you do add more it will not hurt the salad but it could make it to acidity for some. So taste it as you add a little at a time to be on the safe side.
Now here comes the mayo and I had to add this because it really makes this dish a nice creamy sauce, but if you are counting calories then just reduce the amount or admit it all together. By not adding it, it will not affect the detoxing factor of the salad. It is just for a more rich taste that is added to this.
Go ahead and add all the fresh parsley that your heart fancy for it can never have enough for you know it's nature's perfect food and it does wonders for you.
Well, thank you, everyone, that supported my cabbage diet soup series, it was and is a great success and it helped many people to remove the weight.
But, man can not live on soup alone on soup, we will need some type of hard food with protein of sort. It has to be something that can help you keep those pounds off, something tastes good, is nutritious and low in calories.
So here is the starting point of my new series of "Dishes Under 300 Calories". I hope everyone will follow this new low-calory diet.
Now with this dish, we start with tuna and other things that will make this dish great-tasting and low-calorie. I hope you will enjoy this tuna salad and I am wishing everyone great health.
Start with your favorite canned tuna and if this is a diet recipe for you then the tuna should be in water not in oil. The combination here is just perfect to help you hold your weigh and fill you up so you will not feel hungry very soon after eating.
After removing the skin and core, slice it as thin or as thick as you want it. The avocado is this meal has a nice round taste to add to this dish and it blends perfectly with the other ingredients.
In this salad I like to use red onion, I know it is really more acidity and stronger than the average white onion but its higher sweet flavor makes this perfect for this dish. Also, it gives off some color and makes it more appetizing.
When it comes to hot peppers that's your choice but remember that the hotness from these peppers make your metabolism go higher and that burns fat and your lose more weight. Now as for the inside seeds, well that's up to you. As for me, I like to add them to my soups but not to a salad for I do not want anything crunching in my salad.
Go ahead and finish it the way you want. Add lemon or lime slices, some fresh parsley, or fresh dill. After all, this is your dish and you should make it your way.
I have to say that this pasta dish is one of my favorites. When it comes to avocado, with smoothes in the cream, it all blends well for the taste buds.
Do not think that this pasta recipe is hard to make, in fact, it is really fast and easy, try it and see. Try it with your favorite pasta and see how it transformed into something that will be sure to please your Family and Friends.
Let me know how you made out or did you do it your way and add something else.
Just look how only good things go into this recipe, this is what makes it awesome. Try it with different cheeses and see how many flavors you can come up with.
This is what makes this dish so easy, just add to the blender and then mix.
What could be easier and faster?
When the avocado mixture gets to be thick and creamy, then you know it is done.
Make sure that the pasta is hot when you add the mixture from the blender.
If you find that the sauce is too thick then use some of the pasta water. Just add a little at a time, because if it is too runny it will not stick to your pasta.
When everything is blended, then add your toppings. Give it a few minutes on low heat to warm up the tomatoes.
This broccoli salad is so easy to make and do not let the raw recipe fool you, for the combined taste of the fresh veggies with a very smooth cream sauce blended with the sweet cranberries out of this world.
