To stay hydrated, I am planning to whip up a pitcher of agua fresca, which is a cool Mexican drink of water, sugar, ice and fruit:
The starter course will be a bowl of gazpacho with perhaps a dollop of light sour cream. This vegetable cold soup is so tasty and refreshing, full of nutrients and very low in fat.

The main course will be this cold poached salmon with a cucumber dill sauce from cooks.com, served with a mixed green salad. This is one of my favourite ways to serve salmon!
To finish off, perhaps a fruit salad or some lemon sherbert, or, since this is such a virtuously low fat, low cal meal, a nice trip to DQ for a soft serve cone!

I will try this drink for sure, it looks so fresh!
ReplyDeleteNow I make gaspacho as well. I throw green pepper,tomatoes (canned), onion, garlic, cucumber,basil,oregano, evoo, and a bit of italian bread crumbs in my trusty 1977 viking blender and presto changeo....soup!
this is a recipe that my mom made in the 70's. It always was a big hit at parties.
I also make something similar with the salmon. It is Martha Stewart poached salmon with green goddess dressing....delicious
But I will try your recipe because I just love dill.
And you can't go wrong with a DQ cone! I love a vanilla soft serve dipped in chocolate....blast from the past!
i would start with the yummy soft serve.
