Happy New Year! Sorry, I haven't been online much this week. Next week isn't going to be much better, either. I've been super busy doing my twice yearly deep cleaning of the house, and we are gearing up to repaint Allison's room over the next few days. I like to go into the new year with the feeling that everything is clean, organized, and in its place. A fresh start for a fresh year. I don't make resolutions, but I do have a few goals that I'm working towards right now, and I do hope to continue working on them throughout the year. One of my goals is to cut down on processed foods and eat more clean. Honestly, I'll probably never be a full clean eater, I mean, Lindt chocolate! Who doesn't love that!? But, cutting some of the junk out here and there surely adds up. I've been making a lot of foods from scratch lately, and one of my more recent food from scratch loves is this Greek Cucumber Salad dressing from Golden Blossom Honey.
Made with organic veggies and super tasty, it gives my salads a nice kick of flavor. I make this one in big batches so I have some on hand for the salads I like to eat daily.
Ingredients
1 head romaine lettuce or fresh spinach, rinsed, drained, broken into bite-size piecesDressing:
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup (4 ounces) feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
1 Tablespoon GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY
black pepper, to taste

Did you make any New Year's Resolutions this year?
I bet this dressing would be great with fish!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea Dixie! I don't eat fish, but Jason does. I'll have him try it next time I grill him up some fish :)
Deletethat is how we do it here too! But then again we're on the same peninsula with Greece :)
ReplyDeleteHappiest of New Years, dearest sister, to you, tha kidz and Jason!
ooh, and the dogs, and the dogs :)
DeleteI imagine I would love to live in Greece. I love their laid back way of life. And their food is top notch, I'm sure!
DeleteHappy New Year to you dahling!
Dezzmeister says you need to add a k to dahling...
DeleteOh hi Dez.
Well, some days I feel like adding a K and some days I feel like acting like Zsa Zsa Gabor, who does not add a K. Just depends on how sophisticated I feel that day ;)
Deletewe're not sophisticated we're absolutely fabulous and Patsy and Edwina say it with K :)
DeleteCucumbers are my fave, yum! No resolutions for me, but I am looking forward to a wonderful new year.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm wishing you a wonderful new year too!! I hit enter before I could belt that one out there. It's going to be a great new year, sistah!
DeleteI always have cucumbers on hand. They are great in so many recipes!
DeleteHappiest New Year to you too, Rosey! I have a feeling it's going to be a good one for us all!
Eating clean I have down at my sea. Everything is clean too, no clutter for me. Guess I can just relax haha happy new year!
ReplyDeleteYou are the king of clean eating ;) Since you have nothing to do, bring your OCD over here and help me get my house back in order :)
DeleteEating more clean sounds like a plan to me. That's a good goal, Theresa. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Blue! I hope it's a great one for your and Angie!
DeleteThank you:) Now, how about some organic booze? We need to toast from coast to coast!
DeletePft, you don't need booze to be organic. No need to be healthy all the time, especially when you are toasting coast to coast!
DeleteLOL being healthy all the time... Blue, what is this girl talking about? We've never been healthy even 'sometimes' :)
DeleteI think my mom and sister would love that recipe. I don't like cucumbers so it isn't for me. My real resolution is to just be healthier in general this year - more exercise and home cooking, less fast food. But I just made a joking resolution to my dad to finally try a Jack in the Box taco this year....I've never had one in my 32 years of life!
ReplyDeleteI have never had them either, but I think they are a west coast chain, no? We are thinking about making a trip to Cali this summer, and if we do, they are definitely going on the eats list!
DeleteI never make any
ReplyDeleteWhy put off until tomorrow what you can do today, right? If I see a problem that needs fixing, I do it now instead of starting on a specific day.
DeleteI'm trying to eat healthier this year, and this looks delicious. Thank you, Theresa.
ReplyDeleteHave a very sweet 2016.
I so need to get back on track this year! I ate like a PIG over the past few weeks.
ReplyDeleteI just ran out of dressing. I was going to get more, but forgot. Really dressing is so easy to make. I just hate that I make too much. It goes bad faster than the store bought kind. I should just make 1/2 a recipe. This sounds good!
ReplyDeletesuper clean food that I like..I also love the one using lime and lemon plus honey :)
