Arugula Salad with Figs, Prosciutto, and orange balsamic vinaigrette.
You will love this salad because it is really fruity and super salty, a great combination.. I marinated the figs in freshly squeezed orange juice and orange segments. The arugula is dressed with sundried tomato oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper. Crisp your prosciutto in the oven at 375F for 10 minutes and crumble it on top. Here’s the recipe:
4-5 figs quartered
2 oranges juiced
3 cups arugula
2 Tbsp sundried tomato oil
4 Tbsp chopped sundried tomatoes
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
3-4 thin slices prosciutto, crisp
salt and pepper to taste

Crepes!

After a few experiments gone wrong… I finally perfected an amazing SCD legal crepe batter, using eggs and coconut flour. I have made both sweet and savory crepes with it, and they are DELICIOUS! The trick is using both the coconut cream, and coconut oil, (coconut cream, I found at Mother Earth) together with sifted coconut flour.  Here’s the recipe:

6 eggs
1 teaspoon coconut oil
½ teaspoon vanilla essence
1 Tablespoon coconut cream
1 teaspoon honey
3 Tablespoons coconut flour

Whisk together everything but the coconut flour, until light and frothy. Add sifted coconut flour, and whisk until well combined, should coat the back of a wooden spoon, and should be like a very light pancake batter.
Heat a non-stick pan to med-low, and with some melted butter, pour about 1/4 cup of batter, and roll the pan, until you have a big thin layer. After 2 or 3 minutes, flip, and then allow to lay on a piece of parchment paper. You can make a double batch, and keep between parchment paper, in the fridge or freezer. If you are going savory, omit the vanilla and add some salt and pepper, and maybe some dried herbs like oregano or rosemary. Enjoy! :)
