This is a blog where I cook according to my mood. My style is for the "Florida Girl." You won't see too many stews, roasts, or soups, because it's HOT where we live! The majority of my recipes are health conscious...because I can't afford to pack on the pounds while living the beach life in sunny South Florida! All of these recipes are tried and true! Some are original, some are family recipes, and some are adapted.

Rainbow Carrot, Apple and Ginger Slaw
I recently joined an organic buying club, and just picked up my box of fresh organic produce yesterday. What a beautiful variety of fruits and vegetables! I decided to do a mini "Chopped" episode here in my kitchen with the items I received. What a flavorful, colorful combination. A healthy, fresh, crunchy and delightful snack or side dish.
Serves 4 - 6
Ingredients:
4 whole rainbow carrots (can use regular carrots), peeled and vigorously chopped
4 celery stalks, peeled and vigorously chopped
2 apples of your choice (I used pink lady), chopped
1/4 cup raisins
2 green onions, sliced thin
1/4 cup lowfat mayo
1 Tsp white vinegar
1 Tbsp agave nectar
1 Tsp fresh minced ginger
Toss together all fruits and vegetables in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the mayo, vinegar, nectar and ginger. Add to the slaw and toss thoroughly. Chill at least an hour before serving.
