Day 14

Today is day 14, beginning of the last phase of the detox program. As I wrote in the previous blog, I am supposed to start reintroducing food slowly at this stage. So I am planning only add in two things today. For breakfast I had a slice of toast (millet/flax) with olive oil. And for dinner I plan to make a boiled green bean and potato salad.

Here is the recipe for those who are interested...

Red Potato-Green Bean Salad
(serves 4-6)

4 medium red potatoes, washed unpeeled, steamed or baked, and cut into chunks
1 lb. fresh green beans, cut into thirds, lightly steamed
2-4 Tbsp olive or flaxseed oil
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
1/4-1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, slivered
2 Tbsp fresh basil and/or oregano, chopped
S&P to taste

Combine potatoes and beans with oil, vinegar, onion, garlic, herbs (2 Tbsp fresh or 1 tsp dried). Salt and pepper to taste. (For a pleasant flavor, mix all the ingredients together except for the potatoes and chill. Just before serving, add warm potatoes to the cold salad.)
