Refreshing Salad

his is a very refreshing salad, that is great for any occasion. The variation of the greens is okay and if preferred any vinaigrette of your choice should be fine. Always remember to make and vary this recipes to your taste and availability of the ingredients. But this my Refreshing Salad goes well with the salmon, any fish for that matter and also goes well with meats like baked or grilled chicken, beef, mutton, pork, goat meat and so on or can just be eaten without the meats and fish.

Spicy Avocado Dip

Spicy Avocado Dip is one of my avocado dips that I have come to love. It is simple and made with California avocados in season right now. This dip can be eaten not only with the tortilla chips but goes well with pita and some crackers as well. The Himalayan salt gives it a very great taste.

Okra or Okro

Okra or Okro as I know it,  is a greenish vegetable that is low in calories and high in fiber. It is rich in vitamins A, C, and K. It is gluten free. Okra or Okro grows in the tropics and temperate weathers especially in Africa, and can be frozen or dried in small pieces or whole for later use. It can be cooked alone or with other vegetables like bean leaves, pumpkin leaves, aleifu leaves, spinach, colored greens, used in stews and so on. It can be cut into smaller pieces, pounded, or cooked whole, whatever method that is used in  cooking okra/okro it comes out great. I enjoyed eating both the fresh and dried okra/okro growing up.
