Green Goddess Garden Dip

Get some greens and enjoy! This simple Green Goddess Garden Dip can be

served as a salad dressing or an appetizer with raw veggies, bread sticks,

crackers, or chips. It’s also great as a condiment on sandwiches, cooked

vegetables or grains. It's so versatile and absolutely delicious.

Ingredients:

 

1/2 cup green onion, thinly sliced

1 Tbs. garlic, minced

1 Tbs. olive oil

8 oz. spinach, washed, patted dry & de-stemmed

1 avocado, peeled, pitted & diced

1 cup loose fresh parsley, washed

1/4 cup chives, sliced

1 Tbs. freshly chopped dill

1 Tbs. lime juice

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4

tsp. hot sauce

1 - 8 oz. plain vegan soy yogurt (see product)

Directions:

 

In a large, non-stick skillet, sauté the green onion and garlic in the

olive oil for 2 minutes to soften; add spinach and continue to sauté until

spinach just wilts.

Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside to cool completely.

Transfer spinach mixture to a food processor; add the remaining

ingredients, except the vegan yogurt, and process for 2-3 minutes or until

smooth.

Add soy yogurt and process well to combine.

Taste and add additional salt, hot sauce, or lime juice, to taste.

Secrets of Longevity

The inhabitants of the island of Icaria in Greece are being studied for

their unusually long life spans. According to researchers, Icaria had the

highest percentage of 90-year-olds anywhere on earth — nearly 1 out of 3

people make it to their 90s. They also have about 20 percent lower rates of

cancer, 50 percent lower rates of heart disease, and almost no

dementia.

What’s the secret? The people in Icaria live in mountain villages,

requiring activity every day. " They also have a diet that's very interesting, "

study author Dan Buettner commented. It's very high in olive oil; it's very high

in fruits and vegetables. It's also very high in greens – about 150 kinds of

veggies grow wild on the island. " These greens have somewhere around 10 times

the level of antioxidants in red wine. "

Particularly unique to this community is the villagers' drinking habits.

Icarians drink herbal teas every day, morning and night. This appears to be one

of their secrets to longer living in addition to a healthy diet of fruits and

vegetables. When several of the herbal teas were analyzed for their chemical

composition, " We found out that most of them were diuretics,†Buettner

explained, " Diuretics actually lower blood pressure. "
