The numerous buka puasas and Open Houses we attend during Hari Raya tends to take it’s toll on our stomachs. Thank goodness for Herbal Aloe Concentrate which restores our digestive systems in a jiffy. We always have a lot of Aloe in salads, juices and marinades after Ramadhan to keep our systems in working order. It is so soothing and cooling and does wonders for an overactive stomach. In fact, nowadays aloe is the only dressing I use with my salads.
The Recipe:
3 capfuls of Herbal Aloe concentrate; 1 medium cucumber, sliced thin; 3 carrots, grated; salt & pepper to taste.
Marinade the cucumber in the aloe concentrate for 10 minutes. Strain and reserve the aloe liquid. Marinade the grated carrot in the aloe liquid for 5 minutes. Drain and again reserve the aloe liquid. Arrange the cucumber and carrot on a plate in a decorative pattern. Add salt and pepper to the aloe liquid. Pour over cucumber and carrot and serve immediately.
