If you’ve been reading my Blog, you’ve probably guessed that we are
fond of exotic fruits. The papaya is one of them.
We save the seeds (they taste somewhat like black pepper) for use in
making salad dressing. The seeds can be stored refrigerated in a small,
covered container for a few days.
Today we modified the Papaya Seed Salad Dressing found in the Recipes
section of our website. We have not yet published this version there.
Chickpea and Papaya Seed Salad Dressing
Ingredients:
1-15 oz can Chickpeas, drained
Seeds from 1 large Papaya, fresh
1 cup Lemon Juice
1 and 1/3 cups Water
1 or 2 Garlic cloves
2 tbs. Sesame Seeds
2 tbs. Flaxseeds
2 tsp. Oregano, dried leaves
1/8 tsp. (or to taste) Stevia Extract, dry, white
Preparation:
Place all the ingredients in the container of a blender, cover, and run
blender at high speed until contents are smooth.
Today we poured some of this dressing on our large, fresh salads made
up of the following cut up veggies: romaine lettuce, broccoli, carrots,
celery, onion, and cabbage.
Note: As I’ve mentioned in a previous Blog, I have fun planting seeds
of various fruits in pots to see what (if anything) will come up. (In
the case of pineapples, I have planted the tops.) Of course, I keep
these “experiments” indoors since we live in a colder climate.
