Food pairing with juices is one of the wonderful essences to being a foodie that I enjoy the most. Lately, my body has felt a bit run down from working so hard and neglecting the fundamentals of nurturing my body from the inside out.

Raw Juice & Food Pairing: Arugula, Watermelon Salad
July 24, 2014
I made this salad a few days ago, refreshingly light and with just the right amount of zest for a perfect summer food pairing experience. This salad pairs beautifully with a cold glass of carrot orange juice or a honey dew melon juice infused with lemongrass, yum!!
What makes this pairing delicious is the perfect balance of citrus flavors found in both the salad dressing and the juices. The juices facilitate a vibrancy enhancing the dining experience. As the watermelon complements the peppery arugula with a perfectly balance of bright freshness to the spicy green, the cheese provides just the right amount of saltiness to quicken the satisfying burst of flavor provided by the watermelon. Try the combination of juices with this salad for a perfect summer dining experience. Recipe to try: Arugula Watermelon Salad, Food Network

Raw Juice & Food Pairing Experience!
We can only describe the recipe as refreshing and tasty. The recipe comes from one of my favorite chef’s, Chef Allen, Aventura, FL. His food is sensational. This salad is perfect for the summer, and it's simply refreshing. You can pair the Watermelon & Lychee Salad with pear and mint juice; star fruit, pear, tarragon juice or a light cool and refreshing pressed grape juice with watermelon to accent the salad beautifully. If you choose to continue the theme of the dish, a watermelon lychee juice will be finer than wine. The salad is a light fulfilling, wonderfully tasty experience to enjoy during the summer heat.
