Ingredients

• 1/2 English Cucumber, cut into bite sized chunks
• 1/2 Red Onion, cut similar size
• 1 Red Pepper, chopped
• 1/4 Cup Kalamata Olives, pitted  (optional)
• 8 Cherry Tomatoes, chopped
• 2 Cups Cooked Navy Beans (or one can Navy Beans)
• Optional add ins: Feta, goat cheese, or hard boiled eggs

Dressing

• 1 Tbsp Mustard
• 3 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar (or use half Vinegar, half Lemon Juice)
• 1 Clove Garlic, Grated
• 1/2 Cup Olive Oil
• 1 Tbsp Honey, or Liquid Sweetener or Choice
• Pinch Dried Dill
• 1/2 tsp Dried Basil
• 1 tsp Dried Oregano
• Sea Salt and Pepper to taste

Procedure

1) Chop all veggies into similar bite sized pieces, toss to combine.

2) To make the dressing, combine the mustard, vinegar, garlic, honey, and herbs in a blender. Slowly add the oil while the machine runs, ensuring the mixture emulsifies. Alternatively, you can add to slowly while whisking. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. The dressing will be quite thick, but this is normal. It will thin a lot when added to the watery veggies.

3) Dress salad just before serving.

1. After the apricots have soaked for 6-8 hours, drain then puree them in a food processor until they resemble a chunky jam.
2. Add the walnuts, 1/2 cup of the pistachios, cinnamon, lemon, and sea salt and pulse until the mixture holds together and the nuts are chopped, but still have some texture.
3. Roll the mixture into bite sized balls, then toss in the remaining 1/2 pistachios which have been chopped. Store in the refrigerator.
