Tangy Beet Dip
with Sesame Seed Rice Crackers
Serves 4-6
For Clean Cleanse or Refresh
For theTangy Beet Dip
2 cups finely chopped beets
4 cloves mashed garlic
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon each of salt and pepper (or to taste)
1/3 cup chopped walnuts
For the Sesame Seed Crackers
1 ½ cups brown rice flour
1 cup sesame seeds
3½ tablespoons gluten-free tamari
3 teaspoons sesame seed oil
1 cup warm water
For the Tangy Beet Dip: Toss all ingredients together to let sit for at least an hour
before serving. Letting it sit overnight allows the flavors to mix better.
For the Sesame Seed Crackers: Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix everything together. The
dough should come together and not be too sticky. If it is, add more flour. Let the
mixture sit for about 5 minutes. Take about a teaspoon size balls of dough and put
on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Spread the balls out, leaving about an inch
or two in between, fill up the cookie sheet. Take a piece of parchment paper (large
enough to cover all the balls of dough) and spread olive or coconut oil on it. Place
the parchment paper on top of the balls of dough, so the oiled side is touching the
dough.Then use your hands to flatten each ball of dough, you want the crackers to be
very thin. Slowly peel off the parchment paper, one cracker at a time.This may cause
some crackers to tear, so be careful, and make sure you use enough oil! Bake crackers
for about 14-16 minutes, flip them in the middle of cooking if you desire a crispier
cracker!

Creamy Tomato Soup
Serves 2
For Clean Gut or Refresh
2 pounds of ripe, fresh tomatoes (heirlooms are best), cored, and diced
dash of olive oil
½ a yellow onion, diced
1 teaspoon of dried oregano
1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
a pinch stevia
half a ripe avocado, peeled and sliced (this is the secret ingredient)
½ cup of vegetable or chicken broth
sea salt and pepper to taste
chopped basil for garnish
teaspoon of pesto (optional)
In a medium-sized pan that’s already been heated over a medium flame, add about
1-2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the onions and a liberal sprinkling of salt (this helps
draw out water from the onions so they stay translucent as they soften and don’t
burn). After about five minutes, add the tomatoes, vinegar, oregano and stevia. Stir
and allow to come to a slow simmer and then turn down to a low heat, maintaining
the simmer. Next add the broth – it may not seem like much but these tomatoes are
practically made of water, so have no fear. Allow everything to simmer for about 10
minutes.You want to let the juices escape, mingle and mellow.Then turn off the heat
and allow to sit for about 30 minutes. Taste and add salt. Transfer to your blender
and add the avocado. Blend until creamy and smooth. Taste again. Take a moment to
marvel at the magic of avocado. Not only does it add a creaminess, but thanks to its
healthy fat content, it also adds a body and thickening to the soup.You can serve this
soup hot, warm or chilled. I’ve tried it all ways and it’s always delish. Garnish with
some chopped basil, freshly ground pepper, and if you like, you can thin the pesto
with a little olive oil and swirl it through.
