Watermelon & Cayenne Pepper
Fruits served with cayenne pepper are a popular snack throughout India, where summer heat makes digestion sluggish.ayurveda notes
Cayenne pepper clears all heaviness from the digestive tract, circulates the blood to and opens up the pores of the skin.
Cilantro Jade Soup with Crunchy Cucumber & Lime
Like an emerald jade, cilantro juice soup is the perfect cooling summer treat. Entirely raw!ayurveda notes
Most appetite stimulants are heating, but cilantro juice is the ultimate cooling stimulant. Also a diuretic and a laxative, cilantro is tridoshic.
Potato Salad with Cilantro Yogurt Sauce
Ayurveda's version of a backyard barbecue favorite, the minty green yogurt sauce helps beat the summer heat!ayurveda notes
Potatoes are cooling and astringent. Yogurt smoothes over the dryness and roughness of astringency, making the potatoes more palatable. Cilantro directly cools high pitta and inflammation. Cilantro and mint help lighten up the heaviness of potato and yogurt.
Salad with Blood Oranges & Lemon Fennel Dressing
Experiment with citrus and spicy salads. Ginger and lemon add zest and freshness. Fennel adds a unique tone to oranges. Inspired by an Appetizer at Zerza in New York City.
ayurveda notes
Oranges add juiciness to salads. Although technical fruits should not be mixed with greens, oranges are a sour digestive which makes them appropriate for all but the most Vata of digestive tracts.
Fresh ginger is tridoshic, burns toxins from the body, stimulates circulation, and is a mild anti-inflammatory and analgesic.
