Avocado Green Smoothie

Ingredients

1 medium ripe California avocado
1 large granny smith apple, chilled, cored and sliced
1 ripe banana, peeled and frozen (use one with spots)
1 Navel orange, chilled and peeled
2 cups (76 g) packed spinach
1 cup almond milk, chilled*
Juice of 1 lime
2 tsp agave nectar or honey, or to taste (optional)
8 ice cubes (about 1 1/3 cups)




Directions:


Combine all ingredients except ice, in a blender and puree until well blended and smooth. Add ice and blend until smooth. Serve.


*I used original almond milk, not unsweetened or vanilla. The vanilla would be fine but you would probably want to omit the agave as it is sweeter than the original. Unsweetened would also work you just may want to add more agave.

Butternut Salad with Cider Dressing!  

Adapted from Barefoot Contessa
I recommend plating this salad either on a long platter or individually, otherwise all of the goods will end up at the bottom of the bowl.

3 Cups Baby Spinach
3 Cups Butter Lettuce
2 lbs. Butternut Squash, peeled and cut into 1’ cubes
½ Cup Toasted Pistachios
1 Cup Pomegranate Seeds
1 tbsp. Olive Oil
1 tbsp. Real Maple Syrup
Block of Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese
Salt, Pepper, Red Pepper Flakes

Cider Dressing//
¾ Cup Apple Cider
2 tbsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
2 tbsp. Shallots
2 tsp. Dijon Mustard
1/4 Cup Good Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper

Oven to 425’
1. In a rimmed baking pan, toss the squash cubes in the oil and syrup. Sprinkle with salt, red pepper flakes and fresh ground pepper. Roast on the top rack for 20 minutes. Remove and cool.
2. While the squash are baking, bring the apple cider, cider vinegar and shallots to a boil in a small saucepan. Boil for about 8 minutes to reduce and remove from the heat. Whisk in the dijon and a pinch of salt and pepper and red pepper flakes to taste. Allow dressing to cool.
3. In a large bowl add the baby spinach, butter lettuce, and toss with a small amount of the dressing. Place tossed salad on a serving platter and distribute the pomegranate seeds, pistachios and then the squash pieces on top. Drizzle a bit more dressing on the squash and shave large pieces of fresh parmesan on top.
