Yesterday evening I had for dinner a salad made of: 3 small heads of butter lettuce, 15 small garden cucumbers (sliced) and a simple dressing made of the juice of half a lemon and a little water. It was so good and filling, simple and savoury. And nightshade-free.
Ok, so I have to admit I haven't actually tried this yet as I'm only just realising how exhausted nightshades made me feel, but i have in mind a dressing of cucumber, lime and cilantro. I guess you could sub herbs, maybe mint, dill, basil etc and also add mango if you prefer a sweeter dressing. I'll let you know when I try it, or if anyone else tries first, please let me know!
Pretty Garden Pea Salad
-Fresh peas
-Cucumber
-Celery
Blend above ingredients in proportions to suit your personal liking, and pour onto a bed of:
-Pea shoots
-Whole peas
-Iceberg or bok choy
You could also add some finely diced lemon pieces on top, if not grated carrot also makes a nice garnish.

Hi,
Blending green grapes with celery makes a delicious dressing, for salad or noodles. I use 2 cups of grapes, with 2 celery stalks. Yum!
