Here's a callenge, from an old blog I wrote elsewhere. Enjoy.

Here’s your assignment: tranform these recipes to make a salad or soup. Hint: by addidng agar you are helping your joints and thickening a recipe. You may simply add it to a recipe, or follow directions on the pack to make a vegan “geleatin” Chia seeds soaked can also add a nutty thickener for recipes.

2-3 fresh limes diced
4-6 cucumber sliced. Soak in a light marinade
1/2-1 cup of water
4 tablesppons of horse radish
Optional use red chile powder or your fav hot sauce
2 teaspoons of dill

Mix ingrdients in a large bowl. Add optional fruits diced. Fresh fruit better. OPtion: Blend a few fruits for a base. Chill.
Presto a cold soup.
Overnight: you may have a mold. If you cook the agar and pour it into the soup and chill for several hours then you WILL have a mold.

Now what would happen if you blend greens and use them instead of the fruits? Blend greens or tomatoes to the above and then add dried cranberries or cherries or both to soup. garnish with cream or yougurt. See now you 6 recipes to choose from.
