Garden Fresh Grape Tomato-Chia Tartare

This super fresh, amazingly delicious Grape Tomato Tartare takes just a minute to toss together and is different every time depending on your available herbs. The key ingredient is our super sweet grape tomatoes!

Slice Olkerii Farm tomatoes in half, 1/2 cup per person.

Add to taste:

Roasted almond slivers and 1 tsp of White Chia in a dry pan stove-top
Feta crumbles
Finely sliced fresh peeled shallots (about 3 or 4)
fresh herbs, any of these work well; basil, chives, parsley, time, lemon grass, whatever suites your fancy
Add the roasted Chia and almonds to your favorite oil and vinegar mix for a lovely nutty flavor. Salt and pepper to taste.

Besides lunch I love this as a wonderful, fresh, light compliment to steak off the grill!

Chia Macadamia Date Bonbons

I keep a supply of these in my fridge for a healthy afternoon pick-me-up with a cup of tea. Chia's magic qualities of providing a fiber rich supply of energy and being filling gives me a much needed boost in the afternoon and keeps me from over eating at dinner time. What a delicious way to stay healthy - and light!

Put all ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend until you reach the desired consistency. Wet your fingers with cold water and form into 1" balls and refrigerate. Keep in a sealed container and they will last for a couple of weeks refrigerated.

140 gr Raw macadamia nuts
40 gr White Chia Seeds
160 gr Pitted dates
100 gr Desiccated coconut
10 gr Coconut oil
1 tsp Organic cocoa power

Thank you Cara Nora for this delicious recipe!
