Vendor of the Week – a&b essetials

It all started with two friends having a glass of wine and dreaming about soap! a&b was hatched as an idea that blossomed into an adventure. Amanda and Bethany have long loved creating fun and ‘good for you’ items for themselves such as soap, hard lotion bars, sugar scrubs, etc. that do not contain harsh chemicals. They also enjoy creating wall art and specialty items you may not find in your local store. There was something missing though…the public! a&b wanted to share the fruits of their hard work with everyone to enjoy and so started our great little business of a&b essentials.

2 each     white radish (larger in size)

1/2 each  white onion

1/2 each  red onion

1 ounce   pea sprouts

 

1/4 cup   Lemon Balsamic

1/4 cup   Honey

1/2 cup  Olive Oil

 

Method of preparation

  1. With a mandolin, slice all the vegetables as thinly as possible without falling apart. Arrange the sliced vegetables on a plate, shingling them so they are in a repeating pattern (squash, radish, onion, squash, etc). Set aside for later use.
