Here's a five-star recipe that's just as healthy as it is refreshing. Remember to keep the skins! They contain the greatest concentration of lycopene, which is a powerful anti-cancer nutrient, and acts as a low grade sunscreen from the inside out!
Ingredients
½ cup distilled water
2 cups cucumbers (peeled and diced)
2 celery ribs (diced fine)
½ red bell pepper (seeded and diced)
3 green onions (sliced fine)
2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon All Purpose Seasoning
½ teaspoon Celtic or Himalayan salt (or to taste)
Add 2 garlic cloves (minced)
For a sweeter soup, add 4 Medjool dates (soaked one hour and drained) to Step One.
Directions
2. Pour into a bowl and add remaining tomatoes and other ingredients and mix well. Cover and chill.
3. Serve chilled, garnished with minced parsley or chives. ENJOY!
