Dead Sea Herbs

Cucumber Pizza:  One medium sized cucumber.  Cut it in half and chop gently at the top of the cuts on each side.  Rub
these two cuts together vigorously until they foam.  (This removes the bitterness from the inside of the cucumber.)  
Rinse off the foam.  Slice the cucumber into rounds.  On top of the rounds place any or all of the following choices:  
Chopped black or green olives, chopped fresh basil, thinly sliced or chopped tomatoes, chopped red pepper, dill, Italian
spices, garlic salt.  Put on a plate and munch!

No More Ranch Dip:  Many people like to dip vegetables in horrible white toxic dressing.  Make your own dip with ¼ C. raw almond butter, 6 T. olive or roasted sesame oil, 1 T. lemon juice, 1 T. Agave Nectar, herbs to season.  Stir.
Sticks:  Julienne any of the following vegetables:  Red peppers, snow peas, cucumbers, carrots, squash, celery, Jicama  pronounced he-kama (most kids love this), sweet potatoes, and any vegetable (or fruit) that can be sliced into matchsticks.  May add a dressing (below) or leave plain for snacks.  Don’t be afraid to mix in some ants (raisins),
walnuts, or raw cacao.

Dressing: 1 C. Extra Virgin Olive Oil (fresh), 2-4 T. toasted sesame oil, 4 T. Bragg Aminos, Garlic (optional), 4 T. of
either Agave Nectar or Almond butter, 4 T. of Lime juice (may use lemon but it has a different taste), Herbs.  Stir.
Oreooos:  Peel and thinly slice raw sweet potatoes, yams, or apples.  Butter slices with almond butter, and top with
another slice.  May even mix the apples with the potatoes.  A great snack for after school.
