Some things you have to do every day. Eating seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn't going to get the job done.
[Jim Rohn]

 

Watermelon --it's a good fruit. You eat, you drink, you wash your face.
[ Enrico Caruso]

Fruits are acceptable gifts, because they are the flower of commodities, and admit of fantastic values being attached to them. If a man should send to me to come a hundred miles to visit him, and should set before me a basket of fine summer-fruit, I should think there was some proportion between the labor and the reward.
[ Ralph Waldo Emerson]

Carrots With Ginger & Orange

 

Ingredients

1 lb (scant) maincrop carrots
3 small oranges
1 fresh ginger root
1 small garlic clove
1 oz walnut kernals
1 small bunch of mint
1 tsp honey
1 tsp lemon juice
1 olive oil



 

Preparation

First make the dressing. Finely grate the zest of 1 orange into a
bowl. Add its juice, the honey and lemon juice and 1 tablespoon olive
oil. Peel 1/2 inch or so of ginger and chop it as finely as possible;
then crush the small garlic clove. Add both these ingredients to the
bowl with a little salt and pepper. Mix well then push 2 sprigs of
mint into the liquid. Scrub and scrape the carrots, or peel them if
you insist, then grate them coarsely and add to the dressing. Peel
the remaining 2 oranges and cut into segments; be ruthless about
cutting away all traces of pith and the membrane that divides one
segment from the next. Remove pips (seeds) with the tip of a knife
and add the oranges to the salad bowl. Mix all the ingredients
together gently, then cover the salad and set it aside for 2 hours or
a little longer to allow flavours to blend and develop. Close to
serving time, remove and discard the tired sprigs of mint, stir in
the walnuts and scatter with fresh torn mint leaves.
