HOLISTIC CHEF EDDIE'S TIP OF THE DAY #102

Hi Everyone!!!  It's 2020.  YAY!!! What time is it?????  It's time to turn over a new leaf and start a wonderful nutritious meal plan.  If you are continuing your journey and don't have to turn over any leaves then kudos personified to you.  A pat on the back also for those of you who want to make changes that benefit your health.  Today I'm featuring GREEK STYLE SUSHI completely vegetarian (vegan if you substitute the feta cheese) and KETO and PALEO friendly, Kosher, low salt and delishhhhhh.  All you need for this is a potato peeler and you've got something that has all of the elements to satisfy you.  I support anyone who is lowering their sugar and carb intake.  Sugar is the worst drug on the planet.  Why?? It causes illnesses, overeating, weight gain, depression, low self esteem to name a few.  It is so prevalent in our culture.  So many foods have hidden sugars in them which is why it is important to read the labels carefully to see how many grams of sugar are in the foods that you buy.  The beauty of making your own foods is that you are the master and controller of what goes into everything you eat.  Please feel free to write any comments and I will answer your questions.  Be healthy.  With a healthy body, you achieve a healthy mind and spirit.  You feel good and your self esteem skyrockets.  Blessings!!

                 GREEK STYLE SUSHI

1/3 cup Hummus
1/4 cup Crumbled Feta (or Feta Style Vegan alternative) 
1/4 cup chopped Kalamata Olives
1/4 cup chopped Cherry Tomatoes
Small sprigs fresh Dill
Lemon wedges (optional)

 

1. Using a vegetable peeler, slice cucumber into thin flat strips. Lay slices down on paper towels to drain excess moisture.
2. On a cutting board or clean work surface, lay two slices on top of each other. Spread a thin layer of hummus on top of each slice, then sprinkle feta, kalamata olives, and cherry tomatoes on top.
3. Tightly roll each cucumber slice. Stick a small sprig of dill into each sushi piece. Squeeze fresh lemon juice on top, if using.

You definitely can't beat this appetizer.  Your guests will love you for it.  Grain Free, Sugar Free, Low Calorie.  What else do you need?   Enjoy!!!
