Re-Post of Recipe: PAPAYA SEED VINAIGRETTE (Raw)

[Guest guest]

This recipe was posted way back when It is reputed to be deeeeee-lishhhh-ous!

(Dunno

myself, cuz I don't do much with salad except a sprinkle of rice vinegar or

lemon juice

usually, but looking at this again makes me want to branch out, expand my

horizons, try

something new and different - ya get the idea!

 

PAPAYA SEED VINAIGRETTE (Raw)

 

Seeing that pretty picture of papaya seeds reminded me of this

recipe... Papaya seeds make calcium more bio-available to the body,

and make nutrients more readily absorbed by the cells in the body.

They are also high in the enzyme papain which is wonderful for the

body and for digestion. If you eat papayas you should make this

dressing with the seeds, and not throw them out.

 

1 1/2 cups red wine vinegar

1 1/2 cups water

1/3 cup fresh papaya seeds

one small onion

2 cloves garlic

1 tbsp of sweet basil

1 tbsp of oregano

1/8 tsp stevia extract

1 tsp guar gum ( powdered) thickener

 

Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until it is creamy

smooth. Now papaya seeds have a peppery taste so if you do not like

so much pepper use less than the 1/3 cup. Instead of the 1 1/2 cup

of red wine vinegar and water, you can substitute 1 cup of lemon

juice and one cup of water. I like this better, but some people like

the red wine vinegar better.
