SUMMER ISN'T OVER!!!! In honor of the "Last Month of Summer 2018" I thought I'd share some fun ways to spice of your food with essential oils!
LETS START WITH APPETIZERS
Every good meal starts with a yummy starter, so let's begin with some appetizer recipes.
Appetizers give your guests teaser bites of delicious flavors while they mingle and wait for the main course!
Put all those garden grown and farmers' market veggies to great use with these recipes!
Lemon- Lime Guacamole 2 ripe avocados, seeded and mashed with a fork
1-2 T red onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed/minced
1/2 to 1 drop Lemon Vitality Essential Oil
1/2 to 1 drop Lime Vitality Essential Oil
1 small Roma tomato, diced
1 t fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
Salt to taste
Directions: Add avocado to a small mixing bowl. Mix into the avocado the red onion, crushed garlic, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and salt to taste. Add a little of the lemon and/or lime essential oil (use the dilution tip we gave you) and taste; add more to taste.
Onion trick: To remove some of the bite of the red onion, soak the chopped onion in warm water for five minutes and then remove from the water.
Serve with tortilla chips.
