Rebecca's All Stars

So, I'm a foodie.  I love food.  I love the taste, the smell, the texture, the presentation, the ambiance of a good meal, pretty much everything involved.  So to start our food blog for Book Club, I'm posting the best recipes I've ever made for the group or otherwise.  So, here we go...

NOTE:  I did not write this recipe.  This is from a contributor to Real Age, Dr. Oz's website.  But it is awesome either way!

Banana-Kiwi Salad

Ingredients
2 tbsp. lime juice
1 tbsp. canola oil
2 tsp. rice vinegar
1 tsp. honey (I used agave)
1/4 tsp. salt
Pinch of cayenne pepper or to taste
4 kiwis, peeled and diced
2 firm, ripe bananas cut into 1/2 inch thick slices
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
2 tbsp. sliced fresh mint
2 tbsp.  chopped cashews, toasted

Whisk the first 5 ingredients together for the dressing.  Slice the bananas, kiwis, and peppers and toss with the dressing.  Sprinkle with the mint and cashews.
