The Salad Of Your Dreams


                  You will absolutely be dreaming of this salad!



               It is so tasty and has so many different flavors.











Ingredients:


Dressing:

-2 cups red bell pepper (about one large pepper)
-1/3 cup green onion
-Juice of one lime
-Juice of one orange
-2 tablespoons raw tahini


For salad:

-Couple leaves of Kale
-Romaine
-Spinach
-1 Green onion
-2 carrots
-1 cucumber
-1 small zucchini
-Couple sprigs of fresh dill 
-Cayenne pepper
-4 Stalks Celery 
-1/2 -1 avocado
-1/3 orange pepper (optional)
-1/2 heirloom (or any type) tomato (optional)







                                     For the dressing:





Chop up the bell pepper and onions and put them in your blender/food processor.



Juice your lime and orange.


Add two tablespoons raw tahini.


Blend!


It should come out looking like this. 
It is supposed to be a little chunky.


                                               For the salad:




                                            Chop up some kale into small pieces.
Add on top of your chiffonaded (cut into thin strips) romaine and spinach leaves.

                                      Mmm, minerals!



Put your delectable salad dressing on top.


Stir!






This is where the magic happens….
The dill is my secret ingredient. 
A few chopped up sprigs of dill give it a flavor that is out of this world when combined with all the other flavors.


Now chop up all the other ingredients and simply add to the salad!



I added these heirloom tomatoes. 
Aren't they beauties?




Enjoy!


~If kept covered in the fridge overnight, it is great the next day!

                      Flowers of the week! It is that time again!




Tulips are one of my favorite flowers.




 Roses are hard to beat in my book, but tulips come close!











Lovely!




Take a look at these beautiful tulip fields….








                                        ….I can dream, can't I? :)
