Alkaline Salad Recipes: Assorted Veggies with Pumpkin Dressing

That's a salad, a real alkaline one, with lots and lots of nice alkaline veggies.

Serve it as cocktail at your party, or just as a little alka-munchie in front of your favorite TV show.

And the pumpkin salad dressing just completes it. Yummie!

Ingredients for 2-3 servings:

• 2/3 cup carrots, diced
• 1/2 cup celery, diced
• 2 middle sized tomatoes, cubed
• 1½ cups vegetable stock, yeast-free
• 1/2 cup potatoes, diced
• 3 tbsp lemon juice
• 2/3 cup broccoli, diced
• 2/3 cup zucchini, diced
• 1 spring onion, sliced

For the pumpkin dressing:

• 1/2 cup pumpkin, cooked and cooled down
• 2/3 cup vegetable stock, yeat-free
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp Dijon-Mustard
• Sea salt & pepper

Directions:

1. Bring vegetable stock to the boil and cook carrots, celery and potato approx. 8 minutes firm to the bite. Save the stock and set aside. Mix cooked veggies with lemon juice.

2. Steam broccoli and zucchini with a sieve over hot water for about 5 minutes.

3. Put all veggies, including tomato and spring onion, in a large bowl and mix well with half of the cooled down stock (or maybe a bit less!).

4. With the other half of the stock prepare the pumpkin dressing: blend pumpkin, stock, lemon juice, oil and mustard to a fine paste-like dressing and season with salt and pepper.

5. Combine everything in the bowl, mix well and enjoy your alkaline afternoon snack!
