People…can we talk?
I have been eyeing a recipe for ambrosia nectar of the Gods
for awhile now
Not your mandarin oranges and marshmallow kind.
But a more tropical version
Or a Lime in the Coconut version.
Most of the ingredients can come from the garden…well our garden, anyway...IF everything were producing up to their potential. Ahem. Yours too maybe.
Fresh and juicy Grapefruit and orange and cuke and avocado
ooooh, and a feisty little jalapeno.
And a lime and some coconut
natch...
It is a fun mix of sweet and fresh with feisty and earthy
coconut is the grounding force.
Use it anyway you would coleslaw…
It is wonderful!
we are having it with grilled seasame and ginger marinated chicken breast...tonight.
