An Antioxidant Diva Dinner
May 28, 2023
T’was my turn to host the Divas (the Dining Divas, that is). My turn comes up about every 15 months or so. This evening’s theme — chosen by the host (me) — was dishes with lots of antioxidants.
Yup.
- Tracy, app: endive with a filling of parsley, celery, walnut, parmesan, garlic, salt, mayo, lemon, olive oil.
- Madeline, salad: spinach, celery, pomegranate, apples, walnuts, blueberries and a honey/lime vinaigrette
- Carol, side: black beans, avo, tomato salsa, and I haven’t seen her recipe yet
- Kari, main: curry chicken, apple, walnut, mandarin orange, mint, coconut, golden raisins, mayo
- Rissa, dessert: chocolate/cherry granola bars w/ ice cream and chocolate chips, cherries and choco sauce
Plus wine and coffee, and it was all pretty good! Here are at least a couple pics… the raw ingredients and the finished main course:


And Madeline’s salad (Madeline had to drop and run b/c she has a cold) but she left us with a great dish!

(just realized those fingers look a bit creepy up there in the corner.. not sure whose they are…)
No pics of the app (beautiful), the black bean side dish or the dessert. But it was all colorful and tasty!
